For the following formulas: 1. Write the abbreviated ground state electron configuration for the cation and anion respectively.

2. Write a valid set of quantum numbers for each of the valence electrons of the cation.

FOR EXAMPLE:
TiI2
Ti2+ = [Ar]4s03d2 (1 point) I- = [Kr]5s24d105p6 (1 point)
(3, 2, -2, 1/2) (3, 2, -1, 1/2) (2 points)

Q1: MnCl2
Q2: GeO
Q3: PtS2

it is a solid

explanation:

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
