Because potassium is more reactive than hydrogen
<em>Answer:</em>
4) the one that is reduced, which is the oxidizing agent
<em>Explanation:</em>
<em>An oxidizing agent is one that causes oxidation by gaining electrons from another atom/molecule. </em>
Answer:
The given electronic configuration is long hand notation.
Explanation:
Long-hand notation of representing electronic configuration is defined as the arrangement of total number of electrons that are present in an element.
Noble-gas notation of representing electronic configuration is defined as the arrangement of valence electrons in the element. The core electrons are represented as the previous noble gas of the element that is considered.
The given electronic configuration of potassium (K):
The above configuration has all the electrons that are contained in the nucleus of an element. Thus, this configuration is a long-hand notation.
Answer :
- Nuclear fission : In nuclear reaction, the nucleus of a larger atom breaks into two or more smaller nuclei. In fission process, protons and neutrons are produced and larger amount of energy is released.
Example : In nuclear power plant, the energy released from the process of nuclear fission which is converted into electrical energy that is used in our homes and factories.
- Nuclear fusion : In nuclear reaction, the nuclei of two or more smaller atoms combine together to form single larger molecule. In fusion process, the mass of the resulting nuclei is more as compared to the starting nuclei and large amount of energy is also released.
Example : This process occurs in the sun and stars. In this, the isotopes of Hydrogen, Tritium and Deuterium combine together to form a neutron and a helium atom under high pressure and temperature.
