Phosphorous has three lone electrons that need pairing. Similar to how carbon has 4 lone electrons, and forms CH4
antoniya [11.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

The 3p orbital of the element will be completely filled if it forms 3 bonds with other atoms.

Explanation:

Phosphorus is a element of 15 group and 3 period.

The electronic configuration of the phosphorous is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p³

<u>The 3p orbital of phosphorous is singly filled by 3 electrons and if it shares more 3 electrons with other atom, its valence shell will be completely filled which makes it more stable. Hence, phosphorus makes 3 bonds like in PH₃ and PCl₃ .</u>

What is the molarity of a NaOH solution if 28.2 mL of a 0.355 M H2SO4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-mL sample of the
Verdich [7]

Answer:

[NaOH} = 0.4 M

Explanation:

In a reaction of neutralization, we determine the equivalence point of the titration. In this case, we have a strong base and a strong acid.

(H₂SO₄, is considered strong, but the first deprotonation is weak)

2NaOH  +  H₂SO₄  →  Na₂SO₄  + 2H₂O

As we have 2 protons in the acid, we need 2 OH⁻ from the base to form 2 molecules of water.

In the equivalence point we know mmoles of base = mmoles of acid

Let's finish the excersise with the formula

25 mL . M NaOH = 28.2 mL  .  0.355M

M NaOH = (28.2 mL  .  0.355M) / 25 mL → 0.400

How can you described the energy of a storm
lakkis [162]

Answer:

When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.

Identify one type of noncovalent bond present in each solid.
NeX [460]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question is not complete, the cmplete question is:

Identify one type of noncovalent bond present in each solid.

1) Table salt (NaCl)                2) Graphite (repeating)

a. hydrogen bonds

b. ionic interactions

c. van der Waals interactions

d. hydrophobic interactions

Answer:

1) Table salt

b. ionic interactions

Ionic bond are formed between atoms with incomplete outermost shell. Some atoms add electrons to their outermost shell to make the shell complete hence making it a negative ion while some atoms loses their electron to make the outermost shell complete becoming a positive ion. In NaCl, sodium (Na) has 1 electron in its outermost shell which it transfers to Cl which has 7 electrons in the outermost shell. Hence after the bonding the outermost shell of the atoms become complete.

2) Graphite

c. Van Der Waals interaction

Van der waal  forces are weak interaction between molecules that exist between close atoms. Carbon atoms in graphite planes have covalent bond, these graphite planes are known as graphenes. Bonds between graphenes are very weak and are van der waals forces.
