Answer:
Si₁₄ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p²
Explanation:
Silicon is present in group 14 of periodic table.
It is blue-gray color metalloid.
Its atomic mass is 28 g/mol.
It is mostly used to make allow.
The most important alloy are Al-Si and Fe-Si. These are used to make different machine tools, transformer plates, engine etc.
Its atomic number is 14 and electronic configuration can be written as,
Electronic configuration:
Si₁₄ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p²
The noble gas electronic configuration or abbreviated electronic configuration can also be written.
Si₁₄ = [Ne] 3s² 3p²
The atomic number of neon is 10. Its electronic configuration is,
Ne₁₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶
That's why we write [Ne] for 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ in abbreviated electronic configuration of Si.
Answer:
The net ionic equation will be MgCl₂ + 2 NaOH → Mg(OH)₂ + 2 NaCl
Explanation:
Ionization of MgCl₂ is as follows
MgCl₂ → Mg²⁺ + 2 Cl⁻
Ionization of NaOH is as follows
NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻
It is a one type of substitution reaction where OH⁻ combined with Mg²⁺ to give magnesium hydroxide .
On the other hand Cl⁻ combined with Na⁺ to give sodium chloride as product.
Using proper stoichiometry to balanced the number of atoms in both side .
<u>Answer:</u> The percentage abundance of
and
isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.
Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:
.....(1)
Let the fractional abundance of
isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of
isotope will be '1 - x'
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of
isotope = 35 amu
Fractional abundance of
isotope = x
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of
isotope = 37 amu
Fractional abundance of
isotope = 1 - x
Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
![35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=35.45%3D%5B%2835%5Ctimes%20x%29%2B%2837%5Ctimes%20%281-x%29%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%3D0.775)
Percentage abundance of
isotope = 
Percentage abundance of
isotope = 
Hence, the percentage abundance of
and
isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
