Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Explanation:

Calcium is the 20th element. It has 20 electrons in it's neutral state. The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

However in the compound; calcium chloride, it does not exist in it's neutral state.

CaCl2 --> Ca2+ + Cl-

In Ca2+ state, it has lost two electrons, The total number of electrons becomes; 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.

The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

<span>As the number of electrons added to the same principal energy level increases, atomic size generally A. increases.
</span>
<span>Because as you add energy levels, the electrons are drawn to the nucleus of the atoms giving them a lesser charge. Thus its atomic size also increases. </span>

A solution of phosphoric acid was made by dissolving 10.0 g of H3PO4 in 100.0 mL of water. The resulting volume was 113 mL. Calc

rodikova [14]

Explanation:

Mass of solute = 10.0 g

mass of solvent(water) = m

Volume of solvent( water) = v = 100.0 mL

Density of water= d = $1 g/cm^3=1 g/mL$

$1 mL= 1 cm^3$

$m=d\times v=1.0 g/mL\times 100.0 = 100.0 g$

Mass of solution(M) = Mass of solute + mass of solvent

M = 10.0 g + 100.0 g = 110.0 g

Volume of the solution = V = 113 mL

Density of the solution = D

$D=\frac{M}{V}=\frac{110.0 g}{113 mL}=0.9734 g/mL$

The density of the solution is 0.9734 g/ml.

Moles of phosphoric acid = $n_1=\frac{10.0 g}{98 g/mol}=0.1020 mol$

Moles of water = $n_2=\frac{100.0 g}{18g/mol}=5.556 mol$

Mole fraction of phosphoric acid = $\chi_1$

$\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{0.1020 mol}{0.1020 mol+5.556 mol}$

$\chi_1=0.01803$

Mole fraction of water = $\chi_2$

$\chi_2=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{5.556 mol}{0.1020 mol+5.556 mol}$

$\chi_2=0.9820$

$[Molarity]=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution(L)}}$

Moles of phosphoric acid = 0.1020 mol

Volume of the solution = V = 113 mL = 0.113 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity of the solution :

$=\frac{0.1020 mol}{0.113 L}=0.903 M$

$[Molality]=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent(kg)}}$

Moles of phosphoric acid = 0.1020 mol

Mass of solvent(water) = m =100.0 g = 0.100 kg ( 1 g = 0.001 kg)

Molality of the solution :

$=\frac{0.1020 mol}{0.100 kg}=1.02 mol/kg$

According to valence bond theory, which orbitals overlap in the formation of the bond in hcl?

gulaghasi [49]

According to valence bond theory sigma bonds is formed when two orbitals approach and overlap over each other while pie bonds is formed when two orbitals overlap side by side. in formation of HCl 1s orbital of hydrogen overlap on 3p orbitals of chlorine
