Electrons in an atom can be classified as core electrons and valence electrons. Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in valence shell and participates in bond formation. While, Core electrons are all remaining electrons which are not present in valence shell, hence not take part in bonding.
Atomic number of Selenium (Se) is 34 hence it has 34 electrons with following electronic configuration;
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁴
From electronic configuration it is found that the valence shell is 4, and the number of electrons present in valence shell are 6. So,
Core Electrons = Total Electrons - Valence Electrons
Core Electrons = 34 - 6
Core Electrons = 28
Result:
There are 28 core electrons in Selenium.
Answer:
okay.. Questions?????????
The first step in the two-step process of making a solution is the breakdown of the solute source into Atomic particles
for a solution to break the solute must be dissociated and break into the atomic particles
so correct option is D
hope it helps
A electrochemical reaction is said to be spontaneous, if
Answer 1:
Consider reaction: <span>Ni^2+ (aq) + S^2- (aq) ----> + Ni (s) + S (s)
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
</span>

Hence,

we know that,

and

Therefore,

= - 0.25 - (-0.47) = 0.22 v
Since,
is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous
.....................................................................................................................
Answer 2: Consider reaction: <span>Pb^2+ (aq) +H2 (g) ----> Pb (s) +2H^+ (aq)
</span>
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;

Hence,

we know that,

and

Therefore,

= - 0.126 - 0 = -0.126 v
Since,
is negative, hence cell reaction is non-spontaneous.....................................................................................................................
Answer 3:
Consider reaction: <span>2Ag^+ (aq) + Cr(s) ---> 2 Ag (s) +Cr^2+ (aq)
</span>
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;

Hence,

we know that,

and

Therefore,

= - 0.22 - (-0.913) = 0.693 v
Since,
is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous
The metal component of the given compound, CrCl3, is chromium. The number of moles per 1 g of chromium is calculated through the equation below,
n = (1 g Cr)(1 mol Cr/51.996 g Cr)
n = 0.0192 mol Cr(3 electrons/1 mol Cr)
n = 0.0577 e-
Determine the number in charge by multiplying with Faraday's constant,
C = (0.0577 mol Cr)((1 F/1 mol e-)(96485 C/ 1F)
C = 5,566.87 C
Then, calculate time by dividing the charge with the current,
t = 5566.87 C/1.5 A
t = 3711.25 minutes
t = 61.84 hours
<span><em>Answer: 61.84 hours</em></span>
