Elements found in the column identified by the arrow would have which of the following general electron configurations? a. ns2np 6

b. ns2np5

c. ns2np4

d. ns2np3

e. ns2np1

d. ns2np3

Explanation:

In the first main group all elements have a singly occupied s orbital.

In the second main group, all elements have a doubly occupied s orbital.

In the third main group or 13th group all elements have a doubly occupied s orbital and a singly occupied p orbital.

In the fourth main group or 14th group all elements have a doubly occupied s orbital and a doubly occupied p orbital.

In the fifth main group or 15th group all elements have a doubly occupied s orbital and a triply occupied p orbital.

And so on.

hi,

the answer is d, it has indefinite shape but definite volume.

hope this !

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
