Answer:
a) Mo the electron configuration: 42Mo: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d4
Mo3+ - is Paramagnetic
b) Au - [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1
For Au+ is not paramagnetic
c) Mn - [Ar] 3d5 4s2
Mn2+ is paramagnetic
d)Hf -[Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d² 6s²
Hf2+ is not paramagnetic
Explanation:
An atom becomes positively charged when it looses an electron.
Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.
Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.
Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.
Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.
Answer:
Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.
Explanation:
To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.
Answer: B) 2 (as indicated by electron distribution shown), but taking into account the real properties of this element, 4,7,8 also occur (see below).
Explanation:
This is the electron complement/atomic number of ruthenium, which actually has the structure [Kr] 5s1 4d7
Nevertheless, Ru does not form Ru(I) compounds and few Ru(II) compounds (RuCl2, RuBr2, RuI2). It also forms Ru(III)Cl3 and a larger number of Ru(IV) compounds, e.g. RuO2, RuS2. It also forms RuO4
hydrogen and helium and the most abundant elements in a nebula.
Answer:
last choice
Explanation:
oxidation and reduction can be defined in terms of adding or removing oxygen to a compound
oxidation is gaining oxygen
reduction is to loss oxygen
