Answer:

Explanation:
A stable compound has a net charge of 0. Basically, when added, the two ion charges must equal 0 and balance each other out.
We have one ion with a charge of +4. There is another ion of -2. Clearly, these are not balanced yet.
We need more -2 ions to balance it. If we have 2 ions, then their charge is -4 because:
- 2 * -2 charge = -4 charge
The +4 ion and 2 -2 ions (with a charge of -4) balance each other out and create a net charge of 0. So, <u>2 ions with a charge of -2</u> are necessary to create a stable compound.
Answer:

Explanation:
When an atom has 2 or more isotopes, the average atomic mass (aam) depends on the mass of each isotope (mi) and the percentual abundance in nature of each isotope (abi). The average atomic mass can be calculated using the following expression:

Answer:
In PCl5, in addition to equitorial bonds which lie in the same plane ,there are axial bonds. Since it suffers more repulsion it is longer than the other bonds. Also these are weak bondsand therefore these bonds can break easily . Because of these reasons,PCl5 is very reactive.
