Holonium and Gadolinium has the highest number of neutrons in the nucleus.

Looking at the atoms listed;

Dysprosium has 66 protons

Holonium has 67 protons

Neodymium has 60 protons

Europium has 63 protons

Gadolinium has 64 protons

Then,

Number of neutrons = Mass number - number of protons

For Dysprosium

157 - 66 = 91 neutrons

For Holonium

162 - 67 = 95 neutrons

For Neodymium

149 - 60 = 89 neutrons

For Europium

148 - 63 = 85 neutrons

For Gadolinium

159 - 64 = 95 neutrons

Hence, Holonium and Gadolinium has the highest number of neutrons in the nucleus.

The gram molecular mass of co2 is the same as the gram molecular mass of ?

kari74 [83]

The answer is 1. CO. A gram-molecular mass is defined as mass in grams numerically equal to the molecular weight of a substance or the sum of all the atomic masses in its molecular formula. Since CO2 and CO has both carbon and oxygen, the gram-molecular mass does not change. For a compound with carbon and oxygen, the molecular mass comes respectively from 12 (atomic mass of carbon) + (2 × 16) (atomic mass of oxygen), which is 44 g.

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When talking about our universe there are 5 d orbitals. The element of first transition series moves away from the universal principles of Hund's rule and Aufbav's principle. So in order to attain stability these elements tend to form half or full filled orbitals.

In our universe the ground state electronic configuration of sixth transition metal, Iron (Fe) : [Ar] $3d^{6} 4s^{2}$

and the electronic configuration of seventh transition metal, Cobalt (Co) : [Ar] $3d^{7} 4s^{2}$

=================================

In universe L there are seven orbitals.

Ground state electronic configuration of sixth and seven transition element.

Sixth transition metal: [Ar] $3d^{7} 4s^1 or [X] 3d^{7} 4s^1$

Seventh transition metal: [Ar] $3d^{7} 4s^{2}or [X] 3d^{7} 4s^{2}$
