Homework Statement
Write the electron configuration for platinum ion in Pt(NH3)2Cl2.
Relevant Equations
electron configuration
The answer is [Xe] 4f14 5d8. Why does platinum (and other 6th and 7th period d-block elements) have 4f14 instead of 4f7? Thanks.

How many electrons does your configuration have? How many does a platinum atom need to be neutral?
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
