Mr. Martinez placed a thermometer in a jar of very hot water. His students watched what happened to the thermometer. Immediately the level of the red liquid in the thermometer went up. His students disagreed about why the red liquid in the thermometer rose when the thermometer was placed in hot water. This is what they said: Jean-Paul: “The hot water pushed it up.” Pita: “The mass of the red liquid increased.” Jonathan: “The heat inside the thermometer rises.” Jimena: “The air inside the thermometer pulls it up.” Molly: “The molecules of the red liquid are further apart.” Greta: “The number of molecules in the red liquid increased.” Keanu: “The molecules of the red liquid are getting bigger.” Which student do you most agree with?

Explanation:

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
