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.

Consider the equation below. CaCO3(s) <—>CaO(s) + CO2(g) what is the equilibrium constant expression for the given reactio
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Answer is: Keq = [CO₂].

Explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction: CaCO3(s) ⇄ CaO(s) + CO₂(g).

The equilibrium constant (Keq) is a ratio of the concentration of the products  to the concentration of the reactants.

Pure liquids (shown in chemical reactions by appending (l) to the chemical formula) and solids (shown in chemical equations by appending (s) to the chemical formula) not go in to he equilibrium constant expression, only gas state (shown in chemical reactions by appending (g) to the chemical formula) reactants and products go in to  the equilibrium constant expression

Which statement describes a similarity between conductors and insulators?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

They can both be used in an electric circuit.

Explanation:

Though conductors and insulators are very different from each other but still they have a similarity that "they can both be used in an electric circuit".

Conductors are the material that allows electricity to flow and insulators have high resistance and do not allow electricity to flow.

Both conductors and insulators are used in an electric circuit as conductor is used in wires, batteries and bulb to flow current while insulators are used in insulation of wire, switches, plugs and etc. Combination of them makes the circuit shock free.

Hence, the correct answer is "They can both be used in an electric circuit."

Calculate the molarity of hydroxide ion in an aqueous solution that has a poh of 5.00
Simora [160]

Answer:

1.00 x 10^-5 M

Explanation:

pOH=-log[OH^-]

so

[OH^-]=10^(-pOH)

=10^-5

=1.00 x 10^-5 M

1.Which statement best describes scientific laws
gtnhenbr [62]
In a way, all of the answers could be argued for (for example: in the first option: if the scientists' opinions are understood to be "informed understanding of the causes of events"), but one of the options is the best:
Scientific laws describe specific relationships in nature without offering
an explanation.

The reason why  I think this is true is that many laws are phased too short and too concise to provide comprehensive explanations, instead they describe the relationships that must hold.


One of the options is pplain false:
Scientific laws explain why natural events occur. -"Scientific laws were theories that have been tested, proven, and adopted as laws." - since they are not adopted as laws.
