Re: Palladium

This is because full d orbitals are much more stable than partially filled d orbitals. At such a high energy level electrons can jump from one orbital to another easily.

Re: Energy levels and Orbitals

The principal quantum number specifies the energy of an orbital in a one-electron atom. In such a scenario all orbitals with the same value of the principal quantum number, n, have the same energy and hence belong to the same shell of an atom.

When determining the amounts in limiting reactants of a molecule, do we multiply 1 mole of that atom by the stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced equation? for example in CaC2 + 2 H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + C2H2 do we multiply the moles of CaC2 by 2 because of the 2 moles of hydrogen?

Re: Rounding: when and where?

When you're rounding you just have to stay constant. For instance, if I round my very first solution to the 3rd decimal place, round the rest of your solutions to the 3rd decimal place.
