How many unpaired electrons are present in the ground state of a phosphorus atom? a. 3 0.0

Chemistry
1 answer:
inessss [21]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

3

Explanation:

You need to remember that to measure the number of unparied electrons in an atom you need to undestard its electron configuration, and the electron configuration of phosphorus is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3, just the last state "3p3" have unpaired electron, and because a p state can fits 6 electrons, and here are only 3, that means that those 3 are unpaired.

How many different kinds of monomers are there in proteins?
zubka84 [21]
There are 20 different type of monomers present in proteins. Amino acids are in reality the monomers of proteins. Out of the 20 amino acids, only 9 are considered essential. The other 11 are of little use to the humans. The nine of the essential amino acids required by humans are Tryptophan, lysine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Valine, Threonine, Phenylalanine, Methionine and Leucine. The amino acids combine with one another to form different types of proteins. These proteins satisfy a number of our physical functional needs.

An ionic bond would form between which pairs of elements? atomic number 4 and atomic number 18 atomic number 7 and atomic number
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

atomic number 8 and atomic number 12

Explanation:

atomic number 8 and atomic number 12 , element with the atomic number 8 is oxygen, and the element with atomic number 12 is Magnesium

Magnesium has low ionization energy, hence higher tendency to loose its two outermost electrons to form positive ion.

Oxygen has high electron affinity, hence higher tendency to accept or gain electrons to form negative ion.

The electronegativity difference between the element with atomic number 8 and element with atomic number 12 is greater for the formation of ionic bond
