The element with atomic number 71 belongs to which series?

Given: The element with atomic number 71 belongs to which series? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Lutetium (Lu, Z=71) has [Xe] 4f^{14 5d¹ 6s², marking the end of the lanthanoid series (4f filling).. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Substituting values like 1.2 × 10⁻⁵, 236 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, CH₃CH₂NH₂ etc. into the formula and simplifying step by step. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

Which element has the configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d^{10 4s² 4p⁶?

Given: Which element has the configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d^{10 4s² 4p⁶? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Total electrons = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 10 + 2 + 6 = 36, corresponding to krypton (Z = 36).. This is standard NCERT relation. Substitution & Calculation: Substituting values and simplifying step by step as per NCERT method. Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.

Which of the following 3d series elements has the highest second ionization enthalpy?

Given: Which of the following 3d series elements has the highest second ionization enthalpy? Formula: Copper (Cu, Z = 29) has the highest second ionization enthalpy (1958 kJ/mol) due to the stability of 3d^{10 after losing one 4s electron.. Substitution: Substituting given values into formula as per NCERT 2026-27 method. Calculation: Simplifying step by step with proper SI units like m/s², J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, 10⁻⁵, A m⁻¹ etc. Final Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per latest NCERT 2026-27.
