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.

A student puts 0.020 mol of methyl methanoate into an empty and rigid 1.0 L vessel at 450 K. The pressure is measured to be 0.74
KiRa [971]

Explanation:

Initial moles of ethanoic acid = 0.020 mol

At equilibrium, half of the ethanoic acid molecules have reacted.

Thus, moles of ethanoic acid reacted = 0.020 mol * (50% / 100%)

                                                                     = 0.010 mol

Moles of ethanoic acid remaining = 0.020 mol - 0.010 mol = 0.010 mol

The moles of product (CH3COOH)^{2} gas formed are determined as follows:

0.010 mol CH3COOH * (1 mol (CH3COOH)^{2} / 2 mol CH3COOH)

= 0.005 mol (CH3COOH)^{2}

Consequently, the total moles of gas present in the vessel at equilibrium are 0.010 mol CH3COOH and 0.005 mol (CH3COOH)^{2}

Total gas moles at equilibrium = 0.010 mol + 0.005 mol = 0.015 mol

Next, let’s determine the pressure:

0.020 mol of gas has a pressure of 0.74 atm; so under the same conditions, we find the pressure exerted by 0.015 mol of gas:

P1/n1 = P2/n2

P2 = P1*(n2 / n1)

      = 0.74 atm * (0.015 mol / 0.020 mol)

     = 0.555 atm

The speed of light in a vacuum is 2.998 × 10 8 8 m/s. How long does it take for light to circumnavigate the Earth, which has a c
castortr0y [923]

Answer:- 0.134 seconds

Solution:- The speed is given as 2.988*10^8\frac{m}{s} and the circumference is 24900 miles which is same as the distance light have to covered. It asks to calculate the time required to cover this distance by the light.

Unit conversion is needed from miles to meters since the speed is given in meters per second.

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

Thus, 24900mile(\frac{1609.34meter}{mile})

= 40072566 meters

Now, speed=\frac{distance}{time}

Rearranged for time, that gives: time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Inserting the values:

time=\frac{40072566meter}{2.988*10^8\frac{meter}{second}}

= 0.134 seconds

Hence, light would take 0.134 seconds to traverse the indicated distance. The answer without the unit is 0.134.

Step 1: To find the mass of a single washer, divide the total measured mass by the number of washers \frac{0.4168}{1000} =0.0004168\ Kg 0.0004168kg=4.168*10^{-4} kg. Step 2: Convert kilograms to milligrams knowing 1 kg=1*10^{6} mg; thus 4.168*10^{-4}*10^{6} =4.168*10^{2}mg=416.8 mg resulting in the final answer 416.8 mg.
