200

Why does 4 s subshell get filled before 3d?

It takes less energy to fill 4s since it only need 2 to fill it (3d needs 10)

Write the formula of the compound formed when a sodium ion and a carbonate ion (CO32-) combine.

Na2CO3

500

Why are neutrons important in a nucleus?

They create stability by binding with and separating protons that want to repel each other.
