The question is incorrect, the correct question is;

Which of the following ground-state electron configurations represents the atom that has the

lowest first-ionization energy?

a) 1s2

b) 1s22s2

c) 1s22s22p6

d) 1s22s22p63s23p1

e) 1s22s22p63s23p3

The correct ground state configuration that represents the atom that has the lowest first ionization energy is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹.

The first ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from the outermost shell of an atom.

Ionization energy decreases down the group as number of shells increases but increases across the period as nuclear charge increase.

As the number of shells increases, the degree of shielding or screening decreases it easier to remove the outermost electron.

The elements whose ground state electronic configurations were shown are;

Helium - 1s²  

Beryllium - 1s² 2s²  

Neon - 1s² 2s² sp⁶  

Aluminum - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹    

Phosphorus - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³

Aluminium (1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹) is a metal so it has the lowest first ionization energy since metals are highly electropositive.

What type of change occurs when water changes from a solid to a liquid? *
Arlecino [84]
Melting 

Melting is a change in property of matter from solid to liquid

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Thus, there are fundamentally three types of matter which is solid liquid and gas. But why do gases and liquids diffuse and not solids? It is because of the molecular structure of these components of matter. If we examine the molecular structure of gas the molecules are highly scattered and liquid has also almost the same structure as mediocrely scattered that these particles can easily slip through other substances unlike solid which is entirely intact.  <span> </span>

lara [203]

Answer:

Biphenyl

Explanation:

The reaction of bromo benzene with magnesium-ether solution yields a Grignard reagent.

The byproduct of this reaction is biphenyl. It is formed when two unreacted bromobenzene molecules are coupled together.

Hence, It is advised that the bromobenzene solution be added slowly to the magnesium-ether solution so that it isn't present in a high concentration, thus reducing the amount of biphenyl by-product formed.

which of the following describes something an engineer would probably do first when developing new technology meant to reduce oc
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Option B. is the right answer.

Explanation:

Before developing a new technology, an engineer has to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the chemical used in order to clean water bodies. If the chemical has more disadvantages as compared to advantages, so its usage will be avoided while if the chemical does not harm the marine organisms of the ocean so it can be used for the purpose of cleaning. So we can say that first the engineer has to study the chemicals.

In redox half-reactions, a more positive standard reduction potential means I. the oxidized form has a higher affinity for elect
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The 1st and 4th options are correct

I.the oxidized form has a higher affinity for electrons

IV. the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons

Explanation:

Half reaction can be described as the oxidation or reduction reaction in a redox reaction.it is In the redox rection there is a change in the oxidation states of Chemical species involved. the oxidized form in the redox has a higher affinity for electrons and the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons.

Standard reduction potential which is also referred to as standard cell potential can be described as the potential difference that exist between cathode and anode of the cell. In the standard reduction potential most times the species will be reduced which is usually analysed in a reduction half reaction.

(Standard Hydrogen Electrode) is utilized when determining the Standard reduction or potentials of a chemical specie. this is because of Hydrogen having zero reduction and oxidation potentials, as a result of this a measured potential of any species is compared with that of Hydrogen, the difference helps to know the potential reduction of that particular specie.

PLEASEEE HELPPPP ASAP!!
Goshia [24]

Atoms are made up of three subatomic particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus.

All protons have a positive charge.

All neutrons have no charge or are neutral.

Electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge.
