Write electron configurations for each of the following(Type your answer using the format [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p2 for [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p2.)Al3+ Na+ Ca2+ F- N3- _S2- O2- _
It will probably have damaged the microwave, and the potato would have remained uncookedDon't put any metal in the microwave!
the aluminium reflects the microwaves that cook the food, so it wouldnt have cooked, and would have made big sparks and possibly destroyed the oven itselfAre you sure it wasnt a convection oven?
Im suprised the microwave didnt blow up unless it is microwave safe theres a bit of controversy over microwave safe things
ok, im not really understanding the format you wish to have these wrote in but the answers are fairly simpleif you look at an periodic table, you can see the group number (1 to 8)whatever group the element is in tells you the number of electrons on the outer shellthe period in which the element is in tells us how many shells it has the elements and compounds shown above are easily madeAl3+ is Simply aluminium but the 3+ shows that it has a full outer shell (this is called an ION)aluminium needs to loose 3 electrons from its outer shell to make it stableso to draw this you just need to draw a normal aluminium element but without the 3 electrons on the outer shellNa+ is simply sodium without the 1 electron on the outer shell i hope this has helped with your workemail me if you wish to have any more help on the other Elements.
i would be more worried about the fact that ur dad put metal in the microwavethat can blow up the microwave u knowdoes ur dad know this? if he does and he did it anyway perhaps you should take him to a doctor to check for things like alzheimersespecially since you say he is 88 years old and feeling lethargic
