Phosphorous has three lone electrons that need pairing. Similar to how carbon has 4 lone electrons, and forms CH4

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>

In order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent, what must be true?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

In order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent, the attractive forces between solute particles and the solvent particles must be stronger than the attractive forces between solute-solute and solvent-solvent particles. This is important so that the solute will remain in solution.

A rigid tank contains 1.40 moles of an ideal gas. Determine the number of moles of gas that must be withdrawn from the tank to l
sergey [27]

Answer : The final number of moles of gas that withdrawn from the tank to lower the pressure of the gas must be, 0.301 mol.

Explanation :

As we know that:

PV=nRT

At constant volume and temperature of gas, the pressure will be directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.

The relation between  pressure and number of moles of gas will be:

\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 24.5 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 5.30 atm

n_1 = initial number of moles of gas = 1.40 moles

n_2 = final number of moles of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\frac{24.5atm}{5.30atm}=\frac{1.40mol}{n_2}

n_2=0.301mol

Therefore, the final number of moles of gas that withdrawn from the tank to lower the pressure of the gas must be, 0.301 mol.
