Which of the following mixtures would represent a proper buffer solution? Think about this: Strong acids and strong bases alone can never be used as a buffer solution because common ion effect does not apply to them. A mixture of a weak acid (or a weak base) and its conjugate gives the best buffer because common ion effect would apply. A mixture of two unrelated species (such as NaCl and KBr) where neither is particularly acidic or basic cannot be counted as a buffer. Neutral solutions or water is not a buffer. A strong acid (or a strong base) mixed together with its conjugate (e. g., Cl– with HCl) is not a buffer. A. Sodium chloride & hydrochloric acid

B. Hydrochloric acid & water

C. Sodium formate & formic acid

D. Sodium nitrate & water

E. Sodium sulfate & sulfuric acid

the answer is alpha particles hope i you

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.
