Full question options;
(Fe, Pb, Mg, or Ca)
Answer:
Iron - Fe
Explanation:
We understand tht metals pretty much form bonds by losing their valence (outermost electrons). But this question specifically asks for metals that lose beyond their outermost electrons; next to outermost principal energy levels.
Pb, Mg, and Ca only lose their outermost electrons to form the following ions;
Pb2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.
This is because their ions have achieved a stable octet configuration - the dreamland of atoms where they are satisfied and don't need to go into reactions again.
Iron on the other hand has the following electronic configurations;
Fe: [Ar]4s2 3d6
Fe2+: [Ar]4s0 3d6
Fe3+: [Ar]4s0 3d5
This means ion can lose both the ooutermost electrons (4s) and next to outermost principal energy levels (3d). So correct option is Iron.
I’m pretty sure it’s sulphur dioxide
Hello!
The hybridization of the C atom in CH₂Br₂ is sp3
When bonding, the orbitals "s" and "p" from C atoms interact to form hybridized orbitals. If the C atom has 4 sigma bonds, as is the case in CH₂Br₂, there are 4 hybridized orbitals required, so 1 "s" orbital and 3 "p" orbitals hybridize to form an sp3 hybrid orbital. This orbital has tetrahedral geometry and the bond angle is 109,5 °.
Have a nice day!
We don't know what statement you want us to choose from. But, protons have a positive charge, and they are what makes an atom a certain atom.
Answer:
A.) the transfer of energy through a solid, such as the Earth’s crust
I hope this helps! ^-^
