Answer: acid rain
Explanation: Acid rain is one way in which rocks can be chemically weathered. It can harm forests and crops, damage bodies of water, and contribute to the damage of statues and buildings. In this activity you will simulate the chemical weathering of limestone, which is a soft, sedimentary rock that reacts easily to acid rain.
1) What is the ground state electron configuration for Oxygen (O)?
2) What is the excited state electron configuration for Oxygen (O)
Help please
Answer:
1)Oxygen atoms have 8 electrons and the shell structure is 2.6. The ground state electron configuration of ground state gaseous neutral oxygen is [He]. 2s2. 2p4 and the term symbol is 3P2.
Explanation:
2)If the element were to become excited, the electron could occupy an infinite number of orbitals. However, in most texts the example will be the next available one. So for oxygen, it might look like this: 1s22s22p33s1 - where the valence electron now occupies the 3s orbital in an excited (i.e. not ground) state
