Grams of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams 
Grams of white compound = 27.8 grams 
Grams of Chlorine would be = 27.8 - 4.14 = 23.66 grams
 Calculating moles which would be grams / molar mass
 Molar mass of P = 30.97 grams / moles; Molar mass of Cl = 35.45 grams / moles
 Moles of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams / 30.97 grams / moles = 0.1337 moles
 Moles of Chlorine = 23.66 grams / 35.45 grams / moles = 0.6674 moles
 Calculating the ratios by dividing with the small entity
 P = 0.1337 moles / 0.1337 moles = 1
 Cl = 0.6674 moles / 0.1337 moles = 5 
So the empirical formula would be PCl5

The ionization energies (kJ/mol) of hydrogen, nitrogen, sodium, chlorine, and fluorine are 1,312, 1,402, 496, 1,256, and 1,681,
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: Sodium will most likely to become a monoatomic ion with fluorine when these atoms interact.

Explanation:

Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.

With increase in atomic size of the atom, there will be less force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons of the atom. Hence, with lesser amount of energy the valence electrons can be removed.

More is the value of ionization energy more it is difficult to remove an electron. Therefore, lesser is the reactivity of element.

Hence, we can conclude that sodium will most likely to become a monoatomic ion with fluorine when these atoms interact.

In what 3 ways are isotopes similar​
MAVERICK [17]
An isotope is one of two or more forms of the same chemical element. Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the nucleus, giving them the same atomic number, but a different number of neutrons giving each elemental isotope a different atomic weight.
