The mercury (Hg) has 80 electrons. The electrons are distributed in the s, p, d and f orbitals. The electronic configuration of Hg can be shown as-. We can see that there are two filled d-orbitals 3d and 4d. There is only one filled f orbital which is 4f. The electron cloud of the s, p, d and f are different due to their different screening and penetration effect towards the nucleus. The electron cloud of f-orbital is most diffuse than the other three. The outermost electrons of mercury is , which is its valence electrons i.e. (+2).
Answer:
the mantle because it's just built different
Answer:
Both oceanic crust and continental crust are less dense than the mantle, but oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. ... Because continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust it floats higher on the mantle, just like a piece of Styrofoam floats higher on the water than a piece of wood does
