Yes, the n for potassium would be 4, and for neon would be 2. Just count which row of the periodic table you are on. The "L" tells you whether the highest-energy electron is in an "s" orbital (L=0) or a "p" orbital (L=1) or a "d" orbital (L=2) or an "f" orbital (L=3). The manner in which these orbitals are filled is: for each of the first three rows (up to argon), two electrons in the "s" orbital are filled first, then 6 electrons in the "p"orbitals. The potassium row also starts with filling the "s" orbital at the new "n" level (4) but then goes back to filling up the "d" orbitals of n=3 before it fills up the "p"s for n=4. OK, so potassium has n=4, L = 0, while neon has n=2, L = 1. The quantum numbers connected with "an element" are always referring to the highest-energy electron, i.e., the one that was absent in the predecessor element of the periodic table. When you go from potassium to calcium, you still get n=4, L = 0, because there are two positions in the "s" orbital. But when you go from calcium to scandium, suddenly you go back to n=3, L = 2 ("d" orbital).

wanahton purified a portion of water with 900 grams of contaminants. each hour, a third of the contaminants was filtered out.

let g(n) be the amount of contaminants (in grams) that remained by the beginning of the nth hour. g is a sequence, what kind of sequence is it, arithmetic or geometric? then, write an explicit formula for the sequence, g(n)=

What is the relationship between wind and ocean waves? question 17 options: wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves. wind moving at higher speeds will transfer energy over a larger part of the ocean water, resulting in waves with a shorter wavelength. winds moving at higher speeds with cause water to move forward at faster rates, causing larger ocean waves. winds moving at higher speeds will affect deeper water, resulting in waves that move at a faster rate. how do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? question 15 options: as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
