What is percent composition of carbon in c2h6o3

Identify the neutral element represented by this excited-state electron configuration, then write the ground-state electron conf

sineoko [7]

Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p³

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Excited state configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p² 3s¹

Unknown:

Ground state configuration = ?

Element symbol = ?

Solution:

Let us start by understanding what a ground state configuration entails:

A ground state configuration shows the lowest allowed energy levels of an atom. The excited state denotes when electrons have moved to higher energy levels away from their ground state.

The superscript in the configuration depicts the number of electrons in each of the sublevels.

We can use this number to identify the atom we are dealing with:

Total number of electrons = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 electrons

The element with 7 electrons on the periodic table is Nitrogen.

Now, the ground state configuration:

In writing the electronic configuration of an atom, certain rules must be complied with.

Aufbau's principle states that the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies. The order of filling is:

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s etc

To fill the s-orbital = 2 electrons

p-orbital = 6 electrons

The outermost shell electrons are usually the ones excited.

Now, the 3s¹ shell is an excited one taking 1 electron from the second energy level;

The ground state configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³

What does n, l and s mean in chemistry?

kirill [66]

Answer:

These three numbers, n, ℓ, and s can be used to describe an electron in a stable atom.

Explanation:

Each electron's quantum numbers are unique and cannot be shared by another electron in that atom. This property is called the Pauli Exclusion Principle.

Hope this helps!!! :)))

Explain how the bonding model for sodium metal would differ from the bonding model for sodium chloride, NaCi

Elina [12.6K]

Sodium metal is quite reactive; sodium ions (as in NaCl) are quite unreactive. Cl^- ions are not reactive; they are stingily attracted to positive ions such as Na^+with which they form ionic bonds.

Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the formation of an acetal from acidic methanol and 4-methylpentan-2-one in the fewest steps

morpeh [17]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

This reaction is known as Ketone hydrolisis in acid medium. This involves the formation of an hemi cetal, and then, the acetal. This is often used to convert ketones or aldehydes in ethers.

The first step involves the reaction with the acid. The carbonile reacts with the acid and forms an alcohol there. The next step is the reaction of the alcohol, in this case, the methanol to form the hemi cetal. Then in the third step, we repeat the first step, using acid to turn the OH group into a great leaving group such water. Then the water leaves the molecule, leaving the space wide open in the next step for methanol, and the acetal is formed.

See picture for the curved arrow mechanism
