5 0

Answer:

oxidation numbers

Explanation:

chemical equation tells the story of a chemical reaction. Reactants are the starting substances in the reaction while products are the new substances that are formed. The large numbers in front of some of the formulae are called coefficients. These coefficients are used to balance the equation. Chemical reactions must obey the Law of Conservation of Matter. The number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation must be equal because matter cannot be created or destroyed

Why does a transformer require AC rather than DC?
LuckyWell [14K]
So if the voltage in case of DC<span> is same as </span>AC<span>, </span>then DC<span> current is larger </span>than AC<span>current. A </span>transformer<span> works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It means that the change in magnetic flux across a coil induces a potential difference across the same.

Hope this sorta helps! I'm new to this!</span>

A single electron configuration can represent multiple atoms. The one below represents the following atoms with different charge
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

To have the electronic configuration equal to 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷, the chemical element must have an electrical charge equal to 27, that is, it must have 27 electrons, such as Cobalt (Co), for example.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration shown in the question above is known as the Linus Pauling distribution and represents the energy sub-levels that an electrically charged atom can have in relation to the amount of electrons it has.

The layers sub-levels are presented in the following order 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹º 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹º 5p⁶ 6s² 4f14 5d¹º 6p⁶ 7s² 5f14 6d¹º 7p⁶. Where the small numbers represent the number of electrons in each sub-level and the large numbers represent the layers of electronic distribution.

Accordingly, we can see that an atom that has the configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷ has 27 electrons, like Cobalt.
