Activation energy is a thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in a reaction. It is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur. The energy can be in the form of kinetic or potential energy. This concept was introduced by Svante Arrhenius, which brought about the Arrhenius equation which is a formula used to determine rate of reactions.
Answer:
Iron has 5 unpaired electrons in Fe⁺³ state.
Explanation:
Iron having atomic number 26 has following electronic configuration in neutral state.
Fe = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁶
When Iron looses three electrons it attains +3 charge with following electronic configuration.
Fe⁺³ = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 3d⁵
The five electrons in d-orbital exist in unpaired form as,
3(dz)¹, 3d(xz)¹, 3d(yz)¹, 3d(xy)¹, 3(dx²-y²)¹
A unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equal to one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. It is equal to approximately 1.66 x 10-27<span> kg.</span>
Relative dating is the process of determining whether an object or event is older or younger than other objects or events. Absolute dating is d<span>etermining the age of an event or object in years. From absolute dating, the real age of the object is obtained which is not present for relative dating. Hope this helps.</span>
