The correct electronic configuration of vanadium 23 is
1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^3
This electronic configuration is correct because it obeys the Aufbau principle which state that electrons fill the atomic orbital of the lowest energy before occupying the higher level. S orbital can occupy a total of 2 electrons, p orbital can occupy a total of 6 electrons while d orbital can occupy a total of 10 electrons. in the electronic configuration above an s orbital is filled before p orbital while the p orbital is filled before the d orbital .
The oxidation state of the atoms of any molecule in the element state equals zero. H2 is is the element state, therefore the oxidation state of the whole molecule equals zero and the oxidation states of the atoms also equals zero. Answer letter D is the correct answer.
Magnesium has an oxidation state = zero before it undergoes the reaction and is oxidized. The oxidations state of the magnesium in Mg(OH)2 is +2.
18.The octet rule tells us that in every chemical
reactions, elements will either gain or lose electrons to attain the noble gas electron
configuration. This stable<span> electron configuration is known as the octet configuration
since it is composed of 8 valence. Oxygen’s electron configuration is 1s2 2s2
2p4. So when</span> oxygen reacts with
other elements to form compounds, it completes the octet configuration by
taking 2 electrons from the element
it reacts with
19. Actually pure metals are made up not of
metal atoms but rather of closely packed cations (positively charge particles).
These cations are then surrounded by a pack of mobile valence electrons which
drift from one part of the metal<span> to
another. This is called metallic bond.</span>
20. This is the
energy which is needed to break a single bond. When the dissociation energy is
large, this means that the compound is more stable. Since carbon to carbon
bonds have high dissociation energy, therefore they are not very reactive.
21. Network solids are type of solids
in which the atoms are covalently bonded to one another, so they are very
stable. It takes higher temperature to melt them because breaking these
covalent bonds required greater energy. Some examples are:
- Diamond
<span>-Silicon Carbide</span>
They are all things you can do to elements on the periodic table?
Answer: The mass of the displaced liquid is equal to the volume of the liquid multiplied by its density. When a boat is placed in water, the volume of displaced water is equal to the mass of the boat.
I hope this helped!
