Use the periodic table to identify the element with the electron configuration 1s²2s²2p⁴. Write its orbital diagram, and give th
natta225 [31]

Answer:

1. Orbital diagram

2p⁴   ║ ↑↓ ║  "↑"  ║   ↑

2s²    ║ ↑↓ ║

1s²     ║ ↑↓ ║

2. Quantum numbers

  • <em>n </em>= 2,
  • <em>l</em> = 1,
  • m_{l} = 0,
  • m_{s} = +1/2

Explanation:

The fill in rule is:

  • Follow shell number: from the inner most shell to the outer most shell, our case from shell 1 to 2
  • Follow the The Aufbau principle, 1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<4p<5s<4d<5p<6s<4f<5d<6p<7s<5f<6d<7p
  • Hunds' rule: Every orbital in a sublevel is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied. All of the electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin (to maximize total spin).

So, the orbital diagram of given element is as below and the sixth electron is marked between " "

2p⁴   ║ ↑↓ ║  "↑"  ║   ↑

2s²    ║ ↑↓ ║

1s²     ║ ↑↓ ║

The quantum number of an electron consists of four number:

  • <em>n </em>(shell number, - 1, 2, 3...)
  • <em>l</em> (subshell number or  orbital number, 0 - orbital <em>s</em>, 1 - orbital <em>p</em>, 2 - orbital <em>d...</em>)
  • m_{l} (orbital energy, or "which box the electron is in"). For example, orbital <em>p </em>(<em>l</em> = 1) has 3 "boxes", it was number from -1, 0, 1. Orbital <em>d</em> (<em>l </em>= 2) has 5 "boxes", numbered -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
  • m_{s} (spin of electron), either -1/2 or +1/2

In our case, the electron marked with " " has quantum number

  • <em>n </em>= 2, shell number 2,
  • <em>l</em> = 1, subshell or orbital <em>p,</em>
  • m_{l} = 0, 2nd "box" in the range -1, 0, 1
  • m_{s} = +1/2, single electron always has +1/2

Pressure is this sample?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

P = 164 Atm

Explanation:

PV = nRT => P = nRT/V

n = 10.0 moles

R = 0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K

T = 27.0°C = 300 K

V = 1.50 Liters

P = (10.0 mol)(0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K )(300 K)/(1.50 Liters) = 164.12 Atm ≅ 164 Atm (3 sig. figs.)

</span>

<span>6CO2+12H2O+light->C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Photosynthesis is the process in plants to make their food. This involves the use carbon dioxide to react with water and make sugar or glucose as the main product and oxygen as a by-product. Since we are not given the mass of CO2 in this problem, we assume that we have 1 g of CO2 available. We calculate as follows:</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>1 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2 ) ( 12 mol H2O / 6 mol CO2 ) ( 18.02 g / 1 mol ) = 0.82 g of H2O is needed</span>

<span>
</span>

However, if the amount given of CO2 is not one gram, then you can simply change the starting value in the calculation and solve for the mass of water needed.
