Q:

Which operator performs pattern matching ?

A) LIKE operator B) EXISTS operator
C) BETWEEN operator D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) LIKE operator

Explanation:

LIKE is a keyword that is used in the WHERE clause. Basically, LIKE allows us to do a search based operation on a pattern rather than specifying exactly what is desired (as in IN) or spell out a range (as in BETWEEN).

 

The syntax is as follows:
SELECT "column_name"
FROM "table_name"
WHERE "column_name" LIKE {PATTERN}

 

{PATTERN} often consists of wildcards.

 

In SQL, there are two wildcards:


% (percent sign) represents zero, one, or more characters.

_ (underscore) represents exactly one character.

Q:

Electron configuration of cobalt 2+?

Answer

The s,p,d,f configuration for cobalt (Co) is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d7, determined by the position of the element on the periodic table. The electron configuration for Cobalt at ground state would simply be Co: [Ar] 4s23d7.


The electron configuration of Cobalt will end in d block as Cobalt is an inner transition metal. Cobalt is in the 7th column of the d block and therefore has 7 d electrons d7.
