La configuración electrónica del carbono-12 es: 1s2-2s2-2p2. Según esta configuración, la respuesta correcta es: la primera capa de electrones tiene 4 orbitales.

Los átomos de carbono suelen formar 4 enlaces covalentes porque la capa de valencia necesita 8 electrones. Para que los átomos sean estables, es necesario que sus capas de energía externas, denominadas capas de valencia, estén completas. Este principio se conoce como la regla del octeto. Solo los gases nobles (Grupo 8) poseen capas de valencia llenas de forma natural, lo que los convierte en elementos estables. Los demás átomos tienden a perder, ganar o compartir electrones para alcanzar la misma configuración electrónica que estos gases nobles. Los metales tienden a ceder electrones a los no metales, que normalmente los aceptan. El resultado de esta transferencia de electrones se denomina enlace iónico. Por otra parte, los no metales tienden a compartir electrones entre sí, formando enlaces covalentes.

EXPLICACIÓN ADICIONAL

La primera capa de electrones tiene 4 orbitales.

FALSO La distribución de los electrones en el átomo de carbono se presenta en la siguiente configuración electrónica:

1s^2 \ 2s^2 \ 2p^2

Los coeficientes indican la capa electrónica y el superíndice muestra la cantidad de electrones en los orbitales. En el caso del carbono, hay solo dos capas electrónicas con electrones: la primera capa cuenta con el orbital s y la segunda con el orbital s y tres orbitales p.

Por lo tanto, el carbono solo tiene un orbital en la primera capa electrónica.

El núcleo de carbono tiene 4 protones.

FALSO La cantidad de protones en un átomo es lo que le da su identidad única. El número de protones se conoce como número atómico. El número atómico del carbono es 6. Por lo tanto, su núcleo contiene 6 protones. El átomo con 4 protones es Boro (B).

Todos los anteriores

FALSO Dos de las afirmaciones anteriores no son verdaderas.

El carbono forma 3 enlaces covalentes

FALSO El carbono forma 4 enlaces covalentes porque puede compartir 4 electrones no apareados con otros átomos. Puede formar enlaces covalentes simples, dobles o triples con otros átomos de carbono.

The correct equation is (C) H3O+(aq) + C2H3O2−(aq) -> HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l). A buffer system is composed of a weak acid and its corresponding salt, effectively stabilizing the pH levels within a solution. The buffer works by adjusting the concentrations of the conjugate acid and base, maintaining the pH constant.

VMariaS [2998]

Answer:

In blood: Dispersed phase: blood cells; Dispersed medium: liquid plasma

In fruit jelly: Dispersed phase: fruit juice; Dispersed medium: pectin

Explanation:

The dispersed phase refers to the phase where colloidal particles are dispersed within another phase, known as the dispersion medium.

In blood, the tiny cells act as colloidal particles, forming the dispersed phase within the liquid medium identified as plasma.

Conversely, in fruit jelly, the fruit juice constitutes the dispersed phase while the solid pectin serves as the dispersed medium.

A sample of oxygen gas was found to effuse at a rate equal to two times that of an unknown gas. what is the molar mass (in g/mol
Anarel [2989]
<span>128 g/mol Applying Graham's law of effusion, we can utilize the formula: r1/r2 = sqrt(m2/m1) where r1 = effusion rate of gas 1 r2 = effusion rate of gas 2 m1 = molar mass of gas 1 m2 = molar mass of gas 2 Given that the atomic weight of oxygen is 15.999, the molar mass of O2 = 2 * 15.999 = 31.998. We can now insert the known values into Graham's equation to find m2. r1/r2 = sqrt(m2/m1) 2/1 = sqrt(m2/31.998) 4/1 = m2/31.998 Thus, we find m2 to be 127.992. Rounding to three significant figures yields 128 g/mol</span>
