Answer:
polar covalent bonds
Explanation:
Phosphorus trichloride is a chemical compound of phosphorus and chlorine, having the chemical formula PCl 3. It has a trigonal pyramidal shape, owing to the lone pairs of electrons on the phosphorus atom.
Chlorine is more elctronegative than phosphorus . Phosphorus has a lone pair of electrons and every chlorine atom has three pairs of electrons . The molecule is not symmetrical as the shared electron pairs are closer to the chlorine atoms than the phosphorus atoms , the chlorine atoms are shifted towards one side of the center of the molecule , thus a net dipole effect is created. This is the reason why the molecule is polar .
Answer:
The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Those outer electrons are also called valence electrons.
Explanation:
The number of students is your independent variable
Answer: The correct option is The properties of a noble gas.
Explanation: There are 7 periods in the periodic table.
The last element of each period are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn) and Ununoctium (Uuo).
- The electronic configuration for Helium is
. For He, The outermost electrons are 2.
- The electronic configuration for all the other elements is
( where, n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively). For all the other gases, the outermost electrons are 8.
All these elements have stable electronic configuration and are not reactive in nature. Hence, they are considered as noble gases.
Therefore, the last element of each period always have the properties of a noble gas.
