If phosphorous has 5 valence electrons, how many does sulfur have?

Chemistry
1 answer:
VARVARA [1.3K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The atomic number for phosphorous is 15, meaning that it has 15 electrons (and protons). The first and second shells would be filled up with 2 and 8 electrons respectively, leaving 5 which goes on the third shell, which is also the valence shell, meaning phosphorous has 5 valence electrons.

Since the atomic number of sulfur is 16, the first and second shells are also filled up with 2 and 8 electrons respectively, leaving 6 to be on the third shell, the valence shell. Hence, sulfur has 6 valence electrons.

The decay of radioisotopes is a typical first order reaction. The half-life of carbon-14 (14C) is a radioactive isotope that dec
Nady [450]

Answer:

By emitting an electron and an electron antineutrino, one of the neutrons in the carbon-14 atom decays to a proton and the carbon-14 (half-life of 5,700 ± 40 years) decays into the stable (non-radioactive) isotope nitrogen-14.

Half-life: 5,730 ± 40 years

Names: carbon-14, C-14, radiocarbon

Isotope mass: 14.003241 u

2). A student collects 425 L of oxygen at a temperature of 24.0°C and a pressure
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

15.5 moles

Explanation:

Applying,

PV = nRT.................. Equation 1

Where P = pressure, V = Volume, n = number of mole, R = molar gas constant, T = Temperature.

Make n the subject of the equation

n = PV/RT............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 0.899 atm, V = 425 L, T = 24 °C = (273+24) K = 297 K.

Constant: R = 0.083 L.atm/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 2

n = (0.899×425)/(297×0.083)

n = 15.5 moles

A runner wants to run 10.4 km . She knows that her running pace is 7.6 mi/h .
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The runner should run 51 minutes.

Explanation:

Distance wished by runner to cover = d = 10.4 km

Time taken by the runner to cover 10.4 km = T

Speed of the runner  = 7.6 mile/hour

1 mile = 1.60934 km

1 hour = 60 min

7.6 mile/Hour=\frac{7.6\times 1.60934 km}{1\times 60 min}=0.2038 km/min

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

T=\frac{10.4 km}{0.2038 km/min}=51.0179 min\approx 51 minutes

The runner should run 51 minutes.
