How many electrons can be described by the following quantum numbers: n=2, 1=-1, m-1.

6 electrons

Explanation:

The principal quantum number n; describes the energy level and here, it is 2.

The azimuthal or secondary quantum number l is given as 1, we are describing the p-orbital

The magnetic quantum number is -1, and we have 3 sub-orbitals here:

   It is a 2p-suborbital

So; in each sub orbital we have 2 electrons

The number of electrons that can be described here  =  2 x 3 = 6 electrons.

first one is the correct answer

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
