Explanation:
Scandium has atomic number of 21. This means that in it's neutral state its going to have 21 electrons.
a) The full electronic configuration is given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s2
The final electron is placed in the d orbital. The shell is 3d
(b) When scandium has a charge if +1, it has lost an electron. The total number of electrons would now be 21-1 = 20
The electronic configuration would be given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2
The electron in the 3d orbital would be removed.
Answer: E. It decreases the value of Eact.
Explanation:
Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.
A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and more molecules convert to products.
The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.
Workings are in the picture! first you get moles of Fe2O3, then you get moles of Al and then you get mass of Al!
Answer:
The Periodic Table can be divided into s, d, p, and f sublevel blocks. For elements in the s sublevel block, all valence electrons are found in s orbitals. For elements in the p sublevel block, the highest energy valence electrons are found in p orbitals.
