Physical Chemistry
GeneralAn atom consists of a small, positively charged
nucleus, surrounded by negatively charged
electrons. We organize the electrons in a logical
manner. As the atomic number increases, electrons
are added to the subshells according to their
energy. Lower energy subshells fill before higher
energy subshells. The order of filling is 1s, 2s, 2p,
3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f,
6d, 7p.
The periodic table can be used to help you
remember the order.

The reaction flask contained the H₂O2 and the test tube inside the flask contained a catalyst to speed up the reaction. The volume of oxygen gas produced
was determined by water displacement. To determine the moles of oxygen produced, the reaction flask, including its contents, was weighed before and after
the reaction. During the reaction the flask was placed in a cold water bath to cool the solution. After the reaction, if the outside of the reaction flask was still
wet when it was weighed, how would this affect the molar volume of the oxygen gas that was determined?
