  1. Why there are some exceptions for writing electronic …

    Atoms would prefer electron configuration with half-filled or fully-filled orbitals so as to minimizes potential energies. Also, orbitals with opposite spins tend to be unstable due to electrostatic …

  2. Which group of atoms has this electron dot structure? - Socratic

    Jul 11, 2016 · It's important to note that helium has only two electrons so it does not have the same electron dot structure as the other noble gases. Electron dot structures show the number …

  3. Question #f17a7 - Socratic

    graphite is a conductor of electricity because of the electrons that are free to move in the electron configuration of graphite. The electrons in pure graphite carbon are in the 1s^2 2s^2 2p^2 …

  4. Question #acaa5 - Socratic

    (b) Coulomb's force supplies the centripetal acceleration for the orbiting electron, both being equal while the system is in equilibrium. From Classical mechanics we get the following expression

  5. Is there any probability that dark matter is either made of 3 …

    It is unlikely that dark matter in neutrons. Neutrons are unstable unless bound to protons in an atomic nucleus or in a neutron star. Free neutrons decay with a half life of just over 10 minutes …

  6. What is going here. Someone please clarify?My doc did not

    Nov 20, 2017 · Nitrogen is bonded to 2 hydrogens (4 electrons), to 1 carbon (6 electrons) and has a lone electron pair (total of 8). The hydrogens bonded to the nitrogen each share 1 bond with …

  7. Which is the Lewis acid...BF_3 or NH_3? | Socratic

    Boron trifluoride is an electron-pair ACCEPTOR, and is therefore a "Lewis acid...." And with a weak Lewis base, i.e. an electron pair donor, for instance Et_2O, BF_3 can form a "Lewis …

  8. Why do transition metal ions form coloured complexes? - Socratic

    It's been a little while since I've taken inorganic but I'll give it a shot. Consider the fact that transition metals have d-electron shells that are partially filled. Transition metals commonly …

  9. Do 1atom of sodium have same number of protons and electrons …

    May 9, 2018 · To maintain neutrality, and ALL matter is neutral to a first approx., there must be 11 electrons conceived to whizz around the nucular core. Of course the single valence electron is …

  10. Question #70f9d - Socratic

    Dec 3, 2017 · Goldstein's Experiement: Discovery of vacuum pumps led many to experiment with gas discharge tubes (vacuum tubes filled with very small quantities of inert gases, subjected to …
