1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 for the Mg2+ ion.
Answer:
only chlorine can expand its octet.
Explanation:
An atom can expand its octet is it has empty d orbital
the electronic configuration of given elements will be:
B : 1s2 2s2 2p1 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
O :1s2 2s2 2p4 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
F : 1s2 2s2 2p5 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
Cl :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d0 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
Out of given elements only chlorine has empty d orbitals in its valence shell
Thus only chlorine can expand its octet.
It would be a,b,c as the answer. hope this helps!
<span>The half-life of 9 months is 0.75 years.
2.0 years is 2.0/0.75 = 2.67 half-lives.
Each half-life represents a reduction in the amount remaining by a factor of two, so:
A(t)/A(0) = 2^(-t/h)
where A(t) = amount at time t
h = half-life in some unit
t = elapsed time in the same unit
A(t)/A(0) = 2^(-2.67) = 0.157
15.7% of the original amount will remain after 2.0 years.
This is pretty easy one to solve. I was happy doing it.</span>
