Not sure how it was invented but it had for the environment cause it causes plastic particles killing anything or endangering those that consume it.

Identify the outer electron configurations for the (a) alkali metals, (b) alkaline earth metals, (c) halogens, (d) noble gases.
Doss [256]
a) Alkali metals

=> group 1

=> Li:  1s2 2s  => 1s
     Na: [Ne] 3s => 3s
     K: [Ar] 4s => 4s
     Rb: [Kr] 5s => 5s
     Cs: [Xe] 6s => 6s
     Fr: [Rn] 7s => 7s

=> outer electron configuration is ns, where n is the main energy level: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7.
     
b) Alkaline earth metals

=> group 2 => you have to add 1 electron to the alkaly metal of the same row.

=> Be: [He] 2s2 => 2s2
     Mg: [Ne] 3s2 => 3s2
     Ca: [Ar] 4s2 => 4s2
     Sr: [Kr] 5s2 => 5s2
     Ba: [Xe] 6s2 => 6s2
     Ra: [Rn[ 7s2 => 7s2

=>outer electron configuration is n s2, where n is the main energy level: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

c) halogens

=> group 7

=> F: [He] 2s2 2p5 => 2s2 2p5
     Cl: [Ne] 3s2 3p5 => 3s2 3p5
     Br: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 => 4s2 4p5
     I: [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p6 => 5s2 5p5
     At: [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p5

=> outer electron configuration is ns2 np5, where n is the main energy level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

d) Noble gases

=> group 8

I will show only the outer shell which is what is requested

=> He: 1s2
     Ne: ... 2s2 2p6
     Ar: ... 3s2 3p6
     Kr: ... 4s2 4p6
     Xe: ... 5s2 5p6
     Rn: ... 6s2 6p6

=> the outer electron configuration is ns2 np6, except for He for which it is 1s2

Write the equilibrium constant: Pb3(PO4)2(s) = 3Pb2+ (aq) +<br> 2PO2 (aq)
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Kc = [Pb²⁺]³.[PO₄³⁻]²

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction at equilibrium.

Pb₃(PO₄)₂(s) ⇄ 3 Pb²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq)

The concentration equilibrium constant is the product of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. It only includes gases and aqueous species.

Kc = [Pb²⁺]³.[PO₄³⁻]²

This equilibrium constant is known as the solubility product of Pb₃(PO₄)₂.
