Answer:
1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵
Explanation:
1) Ca:
Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.
Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.
So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.
Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.
Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².
2) Pm
The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.
Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.
The atomic number of Xe is 54.
Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.
The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.
Answer:
The answer is:
B
Explanation:
The compound in Option B is Methane.
Methane is known to be a compound which has two elements, carbon and hydrogen. It has a central atom which is surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. It's chemical formula is CH4.
Methane's outer atoms are dipoles and are in the same direction. This makes the overall molecule non-polar. The compound itself has non-polar bonds and it is non-polar itself.

Answer:
50.8 g
Explanation:
Equation of reaction.
From the given information, the number of moles of methane = mass/ molar mass
= 15.4 g / 16.04 g/mol
= 0.960 mol
number of moles of oxygen gas = 90.3 g / 32 g/ mol
= 2.82 mol
Since 1 mol of methane requires 2 moles of oxygen
Then 0.960 mol of methane will require = 0.960 mol × 2 = 1.92 mol of oxygen gas
Thus, methane serves as a limiting reagent.
2.82 mol oxygen gas will result in 2.82 moles of water
So, the theoretical yield of water = moles × molar mass
= 2.82 mol × 18.01528 g/mol
= 50.8 g
