Answer:

Tin

Explanation:

Tin is an element which belongs to the carbon family in the periodic table. It lies in group 14 of the periodic table i.e. IV a.

The symbol of Tin is Sn. Tin has 50 electron in total. Its atomic number is 50. The 50 electrons of tin are divided in its five energy shells. The outer most or the valence shell contains 4 electrons in the ground state.

The number of electrons present per shell in tin is : 2, 8, 18, 18, 4.

The electronic configuration of tin is : [Kr] 4d¹⁰5s²5p²

What is the de Broglie wavelength (in meters) of a 45-g golf ball traveling at 72 m/s?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: The de broglie wavelength is 2.037 \times 10^{-34} m.

Explanation:

Calculate  \lambda = \frac{h}{p}as follows.

          \lambda = \frac{h}{p}

where,

          h = plank's constant = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} m^{2} kg/s

         p = momentum = mass \times velocity

Putting the values in the formula as follows.

        \lambda = \frac{h}{mass \times velocity}

                               =  \frac {6.6 \times 10^{-34} m^{2} kg/s}{0.045 kg \times 72 m/s}                        

                               =  2.037 \times 10^{-34} m

Thus, the de broglie wavelength is 2.037 \times 10^{-34} m.

Report the number 315.05 to 3 significant figures.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

315.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the given number has five significant figures as the zero is to the right of the first nonzero digit (3), if it is required to report it with three significant figures, it is necessary to "cut" it at the first five without any rounding since the subsequent zero is less than five.

Thus the number turns out:

315

Best regards.

What is the 3-dimensional orientation of a sublevel known as?
RoseWind [281]

The 3-dimensional orientation of a sublevel is known as atomic orbital.

In quantum mechanics, Atomic orbitals are locations around an atom's nucleus where electrons are most likely to be at any particular time(specific orbits). These specific orbits exist in levels and can be broken down into sublevels.

Each sublevel has an orbital and it is oriented differently in 3-dimensional space.

The atomic orbital is a mathematical function that depicts how one or two electrons in an atom behave as seen in waves.

Question 2: you have two systems: 1) solid gold and water 2) solid sodium and waterWhich one can spontaneously release energy an
Valentin [98]

Hey there!

Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy.  This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy.  Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.
