Explanation:
Choice B is incorrect because electrons are not located in the nucleus. Choice C is incorrect because an orbital diagram is just a representation of electrons in an orbital. Choice D is incorrect because electrons can be found in orbit (a specific energy level around the positively charged nucleus) but the probability is relatively low. Choice A is the correct answer: orbitals are areas/ regions in space where the probability of finding an electron is very high.

Explanation:
Add 273 to the temperature in Celsius to convert it to Kelvin. −185∘C+273 = 88K. The rest of the choices are incorrect.

The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. For a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons

Explanation:
Statement I is true because emission spectra are produced when photons are released from excited electrons returning to lower energy levels.
Statement II is true because this is Pauli’s Exclusion principle.
Statement III is also true because it is included in Pauli’s Exclusion principle.

Explanation:
Explanation: Selenium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^4. The three $2p$ and three $3p$ orbitals are fully occupied, along with one 4p orbital.

Explanation:
Vanadium has an atomic number of 23 therefore statement I is true. It also has a mass number of 51, therefore statement II is also true as nucleons include both protons and neutrons. Statement III is false as the closest noble gas is Ar, not Ne. The correct condensed electron configuration would be [Ar]4s23d^3. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Explanation:
At high pressures and very low temperatures, the inter-particle forces strengthen, spaces between particles decrease causing the deviation from ideal gas behaviour PV/nRT > 1.

Explanation:
Second ionization energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of singly positive gaseous ions.

Explanation:
For p, $l$ is equal to 1. The number of electrons in a given subshell can be calculated using the formula: $6$ electrons.

The p subshell holds 3 orbitals. Each orbital can fit 2 electrons. Therefore, p subshell holds 6 electrons.

Explanation:
To answer this question, the student must understand the properties of the mixture's components.
The wood chips would not dissolve in the water, so they are filtered out first. This will leave the sodium chloride dissolved in the water. The water can be evaporated to remove the water (to isolate the salt).
Paper chromatography would be ineffective in this scenario as it is used for separating substances such as dyes, pigments, and proteins.
This question is categorized as medium complexity because the student must understand the properties of matter and separation techniques.

Explanation:
1 mole is the number of H2 molecules in 2.02 g of H2. Choices A, B, and C all conform to the definition of a mole

Explanation:
Seawater is a mixture of water and salts. Sucrose, distilled water, and sodium chloride are all examples of compounds.

Explanation:
The s orbital has a spherical shape. In terms of energy, s has the lowest, followed by p and d orbital. Thus, Choices A, B, and D are all incorrect

Explanation:
The $\mathrm{n}$ atom and Mn^2+ ion have the following orbital diagrams:

The valence electrons and the two lost in the 2+ ion are the $4s$ electrons so the unpaired electrons remain 5.

Explanation:
The molar mass of sodium phosphate is 163.94 g mol−1. Divide the mass (20.5 g) of sodium phosphate by the molar mass to calculate the number of moles of the compound. The rest of the choices are incorrect.

Explanation:
Ions do not have the same numbers of protons and electrons. Only species B and C do not have the same number of protons and electrons, so the correct answer is B.

Explanation:
Based on the balanced chemical equation, the number of moles of NO2 is twice that of N2O4. Avogadro's law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas present (25/2= 12.5).

Explanation:
According to Aufbau’s principle, the arrangement of subshell in increasing energy is 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p. Therefore, Choices A and B are both incorrect. Choice C is incorrect because 2d does not exist.

Explanation:
An insoluble solid can be separated from a liquid by means of filtration. Distillation is used to separate homogeneous liquid mixtures (solid soluble in a liquid or two miscible liquids) with different boiling points. Sublimation is a technique for separating mixtures with volatile components that can undergo sublimation. Crystallisation is a separation technique that uses solubility properties to separate a solid from a solution.

Explanation:
Condensation (gas to liquid) requires making bonds and therefore, releases energy. Sublimation (solid to gas) requires breaking bonds and therefore absorbs energy.

Explanation:
The electron configuration for S is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4, whereas for $\mathrm{P}$, it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3.
Due to the increased stability of P’s half-filled p-shell, more energy is required to remove an electron from a $\mathrm{P}$ atom than an $\mathrm{S}$ atom. The electron-electron repulsion in Sulfur makes it easier to remove the first electron.
First ionization energy increases across a period (due to a decrease in atomic radii and an increase in nuclear charge). In period 3, Na is the first element, and Ar is the last to the right.

Explanation:
Relative atomic mass of Br=(0.5069)(78.92)+(0.4931)(80.92)=79. The rest of the choices are incorrect relative atomic masses of bromine.

Alternative Method:

79Br atomic mass can be rounded up to 79

81Br atomic mass can be rounded up to 81

Since the relative abundance of both isotopes is about 50% each, the relative atomic mass of Bromine should be close to 80. Choice D corresponds to that estimation.
