Explanation:

If you find this useful, please mark my answer as the brainliest.

distilled water

Explanation:

Some students investigated osmosis in raw potato sticks. The students measured the mass of three potato sticks using an electronic balance. The students left each potato stick in one of the three different liquids for 5 hours:i. distilled water. ii. dilute sodium chloride solution. iii. concentrated sodium chloride solution. After 5 hours they measured the mass again and calculated the change in mass. 1. Predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of a potato stick. 2. After the experiment, the students noticed that the potato stick with the lowest mass was soft and floppy. Explain why the potato stick had become soft and floppy. 3. The students followed the same experimental procedure with boiled potato sticks and found no overall change in mass in any of the solutions. Suggest why the mass of the boiled potato sticks remained the same.

Which of the following series of isoelectronic ions (Mg²⁺, N³⁻, F⁻, Si⁴⁺) has the ionic radii in order of largest to smallest? A
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct

N³⁻ > F⁻ > Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺

Explanation:

Total electrons for all the species = 10

So these are <u>iso electronic</u> with each other.

We know

Ionic radii ∝ \frac{Magnitude of Negative Charge}{Magnitude of Positive Charge}

  • Si⁴⁺ has 14 protons and 10 electrons
  • Mg²⁺ has 12 protons and 10 electrons
  • N³⁻ has 7 protons and 10 electrons
  • F⁻ has 9 protons and 10 electrons
  • Iso electronic species with greatest number of protons have small size and vice versa.
  • So Si⁺⁴ have smallest size and N³⁻ have largest in size

Which electron configuration represents the electrons of an atom in an excited state? * 2-3 2-7-1 2-8 2-8-1​
Lemur [1.5K]

2-7-1

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy  

Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy  

So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions:  

Ground state is the state of electrons filling shell with the lowest energy levels.  

Excited state is the state of electrons which occupies a higher energy level  

The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterward  

2-7-1

From its 8 electron configuration, filling 3 shells, 2 electrons in the firs shell, 7 electrons in the second shell and 1 electron in the third shell

the electrons in the third shell should fill the electrons in the second shell first according to Aufbau rule (lower energy shells)

\tt  1s^22s^22p^4\rightarrow ground~state\\\\1s^22s^22p^33s^1\rightarrow excited~state
