An electron in the 3s orbital. The order of electron orbital energy levels starting from lowest to highest is as follows: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p.

Explanation:

The sum of total charge of all the protons present inside the nucleus of an atom is known as the nuclear charge.

As the size of an atom increase there occurs a decrease in nuclear charge. This is because number of shells increases as the size of an atom increases. Therefore, force of attraction between the nucleus of the atom and its outermost electrons decreases.

It means electrons are shielded by the number of shells.

Due to this valence electrons can be easily lost by the atom in a chemical reaction.

Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}.

Hence, nuclear charge felt by the electrons present in 3s sub-shell will be the least.

Thus, we can conclude that electron is 3s subshell in magnesium is most shielded from nuclear charge.

A 2.50-l volume of hydrogen measured at â196 °c is warmed to 100 °c. calculate the volume of the gas at the higher temperature
ivann1987 [24]

To solve this we assume that the hydrogen gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

V2 = (100 + 273.15) K x 2.50 L / (-196 + 273.15) K

<span>V2 = 12.09 L</span>

Therefore, the volume would increase to 12.09 L as the temperature is increased to 100 degrees Celsius.

Leya [2.2K]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The rate constant of a certain reaction is known to obey the Arrhenius equation, and to have an activation energy Ea = 71.0 kJ/mol . If the rate constant of this reaction is 6.7 M^(-1)*s^(-1) at 244.0 degrees Celsius, what will the rate constant be at 324.0 degrees Celsius?

<u>Answer:</u> The rate constant at 324°C is 61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate rate constant at two different temperatures of the reaction, we use Arrhenius equation, which is:

\ln(\frac{K_{324^oC}}{K_{244^oC}})=\frac{E_a}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

K_{244^oC} = equilibrium constant at 244°C = 6.7M^{-1}s^{-1}

K_{324^oC} = equilibrium constant at 324°C = ?

E_a = Activation energy = 71.0 kJ/mol = 71000 J/mol   (Conversion factor:  1 kJ = 1000 J)

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

T_1 = initial temperature = 244^oC=[273+244]K=517K

T_2 = final temperature = 324^oC=[273+324]K=597K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\ln(\frac{K_{324^oC}}{6.7})=\frac{71000J}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{517}-\frac{1}{597}]\\\\K_{324^oC}=61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}

Hence, the rate constant at 324°C is 61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}

Certain stages of the water cycle
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

evaporation is most likely to occur on a warm sunny day

Explanation:

Evaporation rates are higher at higher temperatures because as temperature increases, the amount of energy necessary for evaporation decreases. In sunny, warm weather the loss of water by evaporation is greater than in cloudy and cool weather. ... So, sunny, hot, dry, windy conditions produce higher evaporation rates.

1. Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom. We can use the periodic table to predict ionizatio
just olya [345]

Ionization energy increases from left to right because the left wants to lose elctrons and the right wants to gain electron

As you go a group it is easier lose lose because the electrons are farther away from the nucleus and there is less attraction from the positive charges.

It should be 3p3. the p level can hold 6 electrons

Rubidium group 1, 1 valence electrons very reactive

Mg2,2 very reactive

Al 3, 3 reactive
