The electron configuration of carbon atom in its excited state is [ 6C]
Maelezo ya Majibu
The electron configuration of carbon in its ground state is 1s22s22p2. This means that there are two electrons in the 1s orbital, two in the 2s orbital, and two in the 2p orbital. However, the question is asking about the excited state of carbon, which means that at least one electron has been promoted from a lower energy level to a higher energy level. In the case of carbon, one of the electrons in the 2s orbital is promoted to the 2p orbital, resulting in the electron configuration [ 6C] 1s22s12p3. Therefore, the correct answer is 1s22s12px12py12pz1.

In bonded atoms, increase in electronegativity difference,
Maelezo ya Majibu
In bonded atoms, the electronegativity difference determines the distribution of electrons between the atoms. When there is an increase in the electronegativity difference between two atoms in a bond, one atom attracts electrons more strongly than the other, resulting in an uneven distribution of electrons. This uneven distribution of electrons leads to an increase in the polarity of the bond, as the atom that attracts electrons more strongly gains a partial negative charge, while the other atom gains a partial positive charge. Therefore, an increase in electronegativity difference increases the polarity of the bond.

Which of the following properties of covalent compounds is not correct? They
Maelezo ya Majibu
The correct option is "have high boiling points." Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons between two non-metal atoms. These compounds generally have low melting and boiling points due to their weak intermolecular forces. They are mostly gaseous or volatile liquids. Covalent compounds also do not dissociate into ions in solution, and therefore they are non-electrolytes. However, some covalent compounds with strong intermolecular forces may have high boiling points.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The rate of the reaction represented by the equation 2HCI(aq) + CaCO3(s) → CaCI2(aq) + H2O(I) + CO2(g) can be affected by various factors: - Pressure: Pressure affects the rate of a reaction only if there are gases involved in the reaction. In this reaction, CO2 is produced as a gas, so increasing the pressure will increase the rate of the reaction. - Concentration: Increasing the concentration of the reactants will increase the number of collisions between the reactant particles and thus increase the rate of the reaction. - Nature of reactants: The nature of the reactants can affect the rate of the reaction. For example, a reaction involving reactive metals like magnesium will proceed faster than a reaction involving less reactive metals like copper. - Temperature: Increasing the temperature will increase the kinetic energy of the particles, resulting in more collisions and thus increasing the rate of the reaction. Therefore, the factors that will affect the rate of this particular reaction are ll, lll, and IV.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The reaction shown in the equation 23892U + 10 → 139 56Ba + 94 36Kr + 31 0n represents nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is a process in which a heavy nucleus is split into two or more smaller nuclei and typically releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. In this particular reaction, uranium-238 is bombarded with a neutron, which causes it to split into two smaller nuclei (barium-139 and krypton-94) and three neutrons. This process also releases a significant amount of energy in the form of radiation.

When protein is heated to a high temperature it undergoes
Maelezo ya Majibu
When proteins are heated to high temperatures, they undergo denaturation. Denaturation is the process by which a protein loses its three-dimensional structure, which is critical to its function. This change in structure is due to the breaking of the weak bonds holding the protein together, such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions. The loss of these bonds causes the protein to unfold and lose its specific shape, which can lead to a loss of function. Denaturation can also be caused by other factors such as changes in pH, exposure to detergents or solvents, or high pressure.

The electron configuration of carbon atom in its excited state is [ 6C]
Maelezo ya Majibu
The electron configuration of an atom describes the arrangement of electrons in its energy levels or orbitals. The notation [ 6C ] means that the excited carbon atom has six electrons in its outermost energy level, which is the second energy level (n=2). The correct electron configuration for a carbon atom in its excited state is 1s22s12p2. The notation [ 6C ] can be understood as follows: the normal electron configuration for carbon is 1s22s22p2, meaning that it has four electrons in its outermost energy level. By exciting one of the 2s electrons to the empty 2p orbital, the atom now has a total of six electrons in the n=2 energy level, hence the notation [ 6C ]. Option D, 1s22s12px12py12pz1, represents the electron configuration of a carbon atom in its ground state.

Maelezo ya Majibu
Period 3 of the periodic table includes the elements sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and chlorine (Cl). The correct electronic configuration for an element in period 3 should have 3 energy levels and electrons distributed among those energy levels according to the Aufbau principle. Looking at the options given: - represents an element in period 2 as it has only 2 energy levels. - represents the noble gas configuration of the element neon (Ne) in period 2. - represents an element in period 3 with 3 energy levels, where the outermost energy level has 6 electrons (3s2 3p4). This configuration is consistent with the element sulfur (S). - represents an element in period 4 as it has 4 energy levels.

Which of the following salts is insoluble in water?
Maelezo ya Majibu
The correct answer is AgCI. AgCI is insoluble in water because it is a sparingly soluble salt. When AgCI is added to water, it does not dissolve readily and forms a cloudy mixture. The cloudiness is due to the formation of small insoluble particles of AgCI in water. This is because the attractive forces between Ag+ ions and CI- ions in AgCI are stronger than the attractive forces between these ions and water molecules. In contrast, Pb(NO3)2, Na2CO3, and AgNO3 are soluble salts that dissolve readily in water to form clear solutions.

Maelezo ya Majibu
To calculate the relative atomic mass of X, we need to take into account the mass and abundance of each isotope of X. We know that element X has two isotopes: 9X and 11X. To calculate the relative atomic mass of X, we can use the formula: Relative atomic mass of X = (mass of 9X x % abundance of 9X) + (mass of 11X x % abundance of 11X) / 100 Substituting the values we have, we get: Relative atomic mass of X = (9 x 70) + (11 x 30) / 100 Relative atomic mass of X = 630 + 330 / 100 Relative atomic mass of X = 9.6 Therefore, the relative atomic mass of X is 9.6.

Maelezo ya Majibu
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy. Activation energy is the energy required to start a chemical reaction. By lowering the activation energy, a catalyst makes it easier for reactant molecules to react and form products. As a result, the reaction can occur more quickly, which increases the rate of the chemical reaction. Therefore, the correct option is "decreasing the activation energy of the reaction".

Which of the statements about the behaviour of the atom is correct?
Maelezo ya Majibu
The correct statement about the behavior of the atom is that cations are smaller than the parent atom. When an atom loses one or more electrons to form a cation, the number of electrons is less than the number of protons, resulting in a net positive charge. This positive charge attracts the remaining electrons more strongly towards the nucleus, causing the atomic radius to decrease. Therefore, cations are smaller than their parent atoms. Conversely, when an atom gains one or more electrons to form an anion, the negative charge causes the electron cloud to expand, resulting in a larger atomic radius than the parent atom. Hence, the other options are incorrect.

Maelezo ya Majibu
A consequence of global warming is flooding. Global warming causes the temperature of the earth to rise, leading to the melting of glaciers and ice caps, which increases the volume of water in the oceans. This increase in water level leads to flooding in low-lying areas and coastal regions. Additionally, global warming can cause more intense and frequent weather events, such as hurricanes and heavy rainfall, which can also lead to flooding.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The balanced equation for the reaction shows that 2 moles of NaHCO3 produce 1 mole of Na2CO3, and the molar mass of NaHCO3 is 84 g/mol. Therefore, 84 g of NaHCO3 will produce 106 g of Na2CO3. To determine the mass of Na2CO3 produced from 33.6 g of NaHCO3, we need to use stoichiometry. 33.6 g NaHCO3 x (1 mol NaHCO3 / 84 g NaHCO3) x (1 mol Na2CO3 / 2 mol NaHCO3) x (106 g Na2CO3 / 1 mol Na2CO3) = 21.2 g Na2CO3 Therefore, the mass of sodium trioxocarbonate (lV) produced by the complete decomposition of 33.6 g of sodium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is 21.2 g.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The separation of petroleum fractions is based on their boiling points. The different fractions of petroleum are separated by a process called fractional distillation, where crude oil is heated and vaporized. As the vapor rises through a column, it gradually cools down. As it cools, the vapor condenses into a liquid, and the different fractions with different boiling points condense at different levels in the column. The lighter fractions with lower boiling points, such as gases and liquids like gasoline, condense at the top of the column, while the heavier fractions with higher boiling points, such as liquids like diesel and lubricating oil, condense at lower levels. Thus, the separation of petroleum fractions is dependent on the differences in their boiling points.
