Br
Explanation:
To calculate the valance electrons, look at the periodic table to find the valance electrons for each atom and add them together. P is in column 5A, so it has 5, Br is in column 7A, so it has 7 (multiply by 4 since there are 4 Br atoms to give 28) and there is a 1- charge, so add one more electron. 5+28+1=34, so there are 34 electrons to place. P would be the central atom, so place it in the middle. Place each Br around the P (as shown above) with a a single line connecting it. Each line represents 2 electrons, so 8 total have been place, leaving 26 remaining. Place 6 electrons around each Br (2 on each of the unbonded sides), which leaves 2 electrons remaining. The remaining pair of unbound electrons will be attached to the P between any two Br atoms. Phosphorus doesn't have to follow the octet rule, so it actually ends up with 10 valance electrons.
Answer:
Atoms with<u>2</u>or less electrons in the outermost level tend to lose electrons
Answer:
Forests prevent desertification.
Explanation:
Metal atoms have outer electrons which are not tied to any one atom. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied. There are no such free electrons in covalent or ionic solids, so electrons can't flow through them - they are non-conductors.
In a shorter term - no
