Answer:
2. (C) K⁺; 3. (E) Hg⁺; 4. Hg⁺
Explanation:
We must first write the electron configurations of the different species.
(A) Fe²⁺
Fe: [Ar]4s²3d⁶
Fe²⁺: [Ar]3d⁶
When removing electrons from a transition metal ion, you remove the s electrons first.
(B) Cl
Cl: [Ne]3s²3p⁵
(C) K⁺
K: [Ar]4s
K⁺: [Ar]
(D) Cs
Cs: [Xe]6s
(E) Hg⁺
Hg: [Xe]6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰
Hg⁺: [Xe]6s4f¹⁴5d¹⁰
2. K⁺ has a noble gas configuration
3. Hg⁺ has electrons in f orbitals.
4. The electron configuration of Au is [Xe]6s4f¹⁴5d¹⁰, not [Xe]6s²4f¹⁴5d⁹, because a filled d subshell is more stable than a filled s subshell.
Thus, Hg⁺ is isoelectronic with Au.
In the mitochondria, electrons which have been released from a carbohydrate food molecule in the course of its degradation to CO2 are transferred through the membrane by a chain of electron carriers, finally reducing O2 to form water.
The strength of an acid relates to the number of free ions in solution while the concentration of an acid relates to the number of ions that it contributes to a solution.
