The sum of exterior angles is equal to?
The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is equal to 360 degrees.
Do the sum of 2 positive integers equal zero?
The sum of two positive integers can never equal zero.
What does the sum of a square equal to?
The sum of a [single] square equals the square.
Is the sum of a partial product equal to the final answer?
No, it could be a partial sum.
In the electron configuration what does the sum of the superscripts equal?
The sum of the superscript in an electron configuration is equal to the atomic number.
Which sum gives the total number of electrons in electron configuration?
The sum from the exponents of the blocks.For instance,If We take the electron configuration of Sulfur (S) which is:1s22s22p63s23p4The total number of electrons i going to be 2 + 2 + 6 +2 + 4, which gives 16.
What does the sum of the superscript stand for?
Nothing in particular.
What is C- electron configuration?
1s22s22p3. Adding the exponents gives a sum of 7, which is the total number of electrons a C- ion has. Follow a diagonal rule chart and they should become easy.
How does noble gas notation simplify writing electron configurations?
This is best explained by an example: The electron configuration of Strontium (Sr) is: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 This can be simplified by using the noble gas that covers the most items. In this case it is Krypton (Kr) which has an electron configuration of: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 Do you see the similarity in the two configurations? This means that you can use [Kr] to represent 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 So the short-handed (simplified) way of writing Strontium is: [Kr] 5s^2 Everything before the 5s^2 was replaced with [Kr] Note: The "^" symbol means the the following number is in the form of a superscript.
Electron configuration for sodium in the excited state?
The groundstate for Sodium (11-Na) is: 1S2 , 2S2, 2P6, 3S1 If you count the ^powers you notice it'll sum to 11, when Sodium is excited the outermost electron (3S1) will be excited from the 3S shell to the next shell up which is the 3P shell. The "core" electron configuration doesn't change so the first excited state is simply: 1S2 , 2S2, 2P6, 3P1 For the next excited state the electron that is now in the 3P shell will transition to the 4S shell before the 3D shell
Does a sum of infinite ones equal a sum of infinite twos?
Yes, the sum of infinite ones equal the sum of infinite twos.
What is the effective nuclear charge experienced by calcium's valence electrons?
as you know we must first have the electron configuration to get the valence electrons. the electron configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2. we now have the electron configuration but we dont have the v.e. the last electron in the calcium atom are in the 4s orbital so that means that since it the only electron in the 4s orbital we will use it as a v.e. so as to get the v.e. we will subtract the shielding electrons from the nuclear charge shortly expressed by the formula below. Zeff=S-Z in this case Z will be the sum of the shielding electrons and s is the nuclear charge. Zeff=20-18 Zeff=2+ so the effective nuclear charge is 2+ or 2. hope you like it.
When is the vector sum not equal in magnitude to the algebraic sum?
The magnitude of the vector sum will only equal the magnitude of algebraic sum, when the vectors are pointing in the same direction.

How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than 1 less than 1 or equal to?
If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator the sum is greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator the sum is equal to 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator the sum is less 1.
