Stimuli are anything that causes arousal or enables an object to respond or react.
There are many different kinds of stimuli for which is different for every organism, for example, water, light and carbon dioxide are three stimuli and materials needed for photosynthesis in plants to manifest.
<span>In humans, we have nutrients or food, oxygen and water for us to survive. These are stimuli, eyes need light as a stimuli for it see and function. Nasal receptors needs smell as stimuli caused by molecular reactions of an object as a stimuli. And others. </span>
Answer:
1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵
Explanation:
1) Ca:
Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.
Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.
So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.
Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.
Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².
2) Pm
The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.
Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.
The atomic number of Xe is 54.
Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.
The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.
