What is 2n^2 rule ( of science)​

Chemistry
1 answer:
lozanna [386]3 years ago
3 0

2n² rule:

This rule is used to determine number of electrons in particular shell.

n=1 means K shell

n=2 means L shell

n=3 means M shell

n=4means N shell

The first K shell can hold upto 2 electrons, L shell can hold up to 8, third M shell can hold up to 18and the fourth N shell can hold upto 32 electrons. This rule of arrangement of electrons according to the shell is known 2n2 rule where n means number of shell.

For example: There is one proton in the nucleus of hydrogen atom, which moves in K shell path. It has no neutron.

What are the primary products of burning a fossil fuel?
denis23 [38]
<span>Several important pollutants are produced by fossil fuel combustion: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons. In addition, total suspended particulates contribute to air pollution, and nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons can combine in the atmosphere to form tropospheric ozone, the major constituent of smog.

Carbon monoxide is a gas formed as a by-product during the incomplete combustion of all fossil fuels. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause headaches and place additional stress on people with heart disease. Cars and trucks are the primary source of carbon monoxide emissions.

Two oxides of nitrogen--nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide--are formed in combustion. Nitrogen oxides appear as yellowish-brown clouds over many city skylines. They can irritate the lungs, cause bronchitis and pneumonia, and decrease resistance to respiratory infections. They also lead to the formation of smog. The transportation sector is responsible for close to half of the US emissions of nitrogen oxides; power plants produce most of the rest.

Sulfur oxides are produced by the oxidization of the available sulfur in a fuel. Utilities that use coal to generate electricity produce two-thirds of the nation's sulfur dioxide emissions. Nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are important constituents of acid rain. These gases combine with water vapor in clouds to form sulfuric and nitric acids, which become part of rain and snow. As the acids accumulate, lakes and rivers become too acidic for plant and animal life. Acid rain also affects crops and buildings.

Hydrocarbons are a broad class of pollutants made up of hundreds of specific compounds containing carbon and hydrogen. The simplest hydrocarbon, methane, does not readily react with nitrogen oxides to form smog, but most other hydrocarbons do. Hydrocarbons are emitted from human-made sources such as auto and truck exhaust, evaporation of gasoline and solvents, and petroleum refining.

The white haze that can be seen over many cities is tropospheric ozone, or smog. This gas is not emitted directly into the air; rather, it is formed when ozone precursors mainly nonmethane hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides react in the presence of heat and sunlight. Human exposure to ozone can produce shortness of breath and, over time, permanent lung damage. Research shows that ozone may be harmful at levels even lower than the current federal air standard. In addition, it can reduce crop yields.

Finally, fossil fuel use also produces particulates, including dust, soot, smoke, and other suspended matter, which are respiratory irritants. In addition, particulates may contribute to acid rain formation.

Also, water and land pollution.

Which of this is not an effect of humans using a natural recourse?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

it can allow more room for additional living things in the habitat

Explanation:

Use water for an example.

- Taking water can destroy a fish habitat.

- Using excess water can cause water to run out.

- Taking/using water leaves less amounts for others/organisms.

Taking water does not allow additional room for organisms in a habitat.

How many grams are in 1.23 x 1020 atoms of arsenic?
Alina [70]

Given the data from the question, the mass of arsenic that contains 1.23×10²⁰ atoms is 0.0153 g

<h3>Avogadro's hypothesis </h3>

6.02×10²³ atoms = 1 mole of arsenic

But

1 mole of arsenic = 75 g

Thus, we can say that:

6.02×10²³ atoms = 75 g of arsenic

<h3>How to determine the mass that contains 1.23×10²⁰ atoms</h3>

6.02×10²³ atoms = 75 g of arsenic

Therefore,

1.23×10²⁰ atoms = (1.23×10²⁰ × 75) / 6.02×10²³ atoms)

1.23×10²⁰ atoms = 0.0153 g of arsenic

Thus, 1.23×10²⁰ atoms is present in 0.0153 g of arsenic

Assign each species to the expression that most accurately describes the basic units of that substance. categories: single atoms
Temka [501]
Atoms are the smallest form of the substance. examples of atoms are in elemental forms such as copper, helium, silver. Diatomic molecules are made up of identical atoms. Examples are I2.. F2 and Br2. Formula units are those compounds that are made up of two or more elements such as -No2, KMnO4,<span>C3H8, MgCl2, HgBr2, Ba(OH)2</span>

Which of the following would be a reasonable synthesis of CH3CH2CH2CH2OH?Group of answer choices
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

B. 1-Butene rightarrow (1) BH3: THF (2)H202, OH-

Explanation:

In the hydroboration of alkenes, an alkene is hydrated to form an alcohol with anti-Markovnikov orientation.

the reagent BH₃:THF is the way that borane is used in organic reactions. The BH₃ adds to the double bond of an alkene to form an alkyl borane. Peroxide hydrogen in basic medium oxidizes the alkyl borane to form an alcohol. Indeed, hydroboration-oxidation converts alkenes to alcohols by adding water through the double bond, with anti-Markovnikov orientation.
