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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
The graph of P vs T shows a linear graph (straight line passing through the origin) that rises upward. This graph shows that P is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. As the absolute temperature increases, the pressure of the gas also increases.

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.

Explanation:
Successive ionization energies are larger, as electrons are removed, there is less electron-electron repulsion, so the remaining electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus, and more energy is required to remove them.

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:
The number of arrows denotes the number of electrons the atom has. The orbital diagram shown here has 8 arrows which tells you that there are 8 electrons.
Choice A is not correct because C has only 6 electrons.
Choice D is also not correct because F has 9 electrons.
Choice C is incorrect as N has 7 electrons.
Among the choices, oxygen in its neutral form has 8 electrons. Hence, choice B is the correct answer.

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

Explanation:
One of the laws of gases states that, for a fixed amount of gas held at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

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

Explanation:
Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Species A and B have the same number of protons but also the same number of neutrons so cannot be isotopes.
Species C is the only species in the table with 9 protons so cannot have an isotope with another species in the table.
This leaves species D and E which both have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

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:

Isotopes with fewer neutrons will have a lower density

Explanation:
There is an inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength. If the wavelength is doubled, the frequency will decrease by half. Therefore, Choices A, C, and D are all incorrect.

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

Explanation:
Choice A is incorrect because the orbital diagram does not satisfy Hund's rule wherein all orbitals must be singly occupied before pairing.
Choice B is incorrect because Pauli's Exclusion principle is not obeyed by having two electrons with the same spin in one orbital.
Choice C is correct because, according to Hund's rule, the orbitals must be half-filled first before pairing, and the paired orbital must have electrons in an opposite spin.
Choice D is incorrect because the 2s orbital must be filled first before filling the 2p orbital, as illustrated by Aufbau's 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:
Second ionization energies are higher than the first as the electrons are being removed from a positive ion resulting in a stronger electrostatic attraction.
First ionization energies do increase across a period due to increasing nuclear charge.
First ionization energies also decrease down a group due to increased shielding (number of shells).
