Based on the information given, it should be noted that the ground-state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

<h3>What is an electron?</h3>

Electrons are simply the subatomic particles which orbit the nucleus of an atom.

The arrangement of electrons in the atomic orbitals of an atom is known as the electron configuration. This can be determined by using a periodic table.

It should be noted that carbon is the sixth element with a total of 6 electrons in the periodic table. Thus, the atomic number Z = 6.

In conclusion, the ground-state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

Which of the following are physical characteristics of blood? 1. it is more viscous than water 2. its temperature is about 38ºC
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

A property which does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as physical property.

For example, blood is more viscous than water, its pH is slightly alkaline, its temperature is about 38^{o}C (100.4^{o}F)  .

On the other hand, a property which changes chemical composition of a substance is known as a chemical property.

For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.

Sometimes, the change in color of a substance can also occur due to a chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that following are the physical characteristics of blood.

  • it is more viscous than water.
  • its temperature is about 38^{o}C (100.4^{o}F).
  • the pH is slightly alkaline.
  • it is about 8% of one’s total body weight.

How many covalent bonds does and oxygen stone usually make in forming covalent compounds?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: Oxygen usually forms two covalent bonds or a covalent double bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of 2 electrons, 1 electron from each of the atoms sharing their electrons.

The number of bonds that each element can form depends on the number of valence (outermost) electrons it contains. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 more electrons thereby forming a double bond.

Calculate the molarity of a salt solution with a volume of 0.250L that contains 0.70 mol of NaCl. (SHOW WORK)
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

= 0.28M

Explanation:

data:

volume = 0.250 L

           = 0.250dm^3                       ( 1litre = 1dm^3)

moles = 0.70 moles

Solution:

      molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{volume in dm^3}

                 = 0.70 / 0.250

    molarity = 0.28 M
