Phosphorus is atmotic number 15 When it comes to bonding with other atoms, what is phosphorus most likely to do?

Biology

lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago

Phosphorus has an electronic configuration in the simple form 2,8,5 and a spdf configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³.

The valence electrons in phosphorus (the electrons available for bonding) are 5.  As a result, an atom of phosphorus shares its electrons with another atom to form COVALENT bonds.  This is ideal since it would take a high amount of energy to release these five electrons, and it would be unlikely for atoms to lose 5 electrons to donate to phosphorus.

How does the white-tailed deer overpopulation affect the ecosystem
nalin [4]
Answer: Too many deer in a given area results in overgrazing and the eventual loss of brush and shrubs in forested areas. Loss of undergrowth means no place for small animals and birds to shelter and nest. The result is the disappearance of many native species that no longer have access to the habitat they need.

netineya [11]

*This is to help figure it out, you don't learn if I flat out give you the answer*

The new viruses burst out of the host cell during a process called lysis, which kills the host cell. Some viruses take a portion of the host's membrane during the lysis process to form an envelope around the capsid.

He says ' I have no Class today 'turn in to indirect speech ​
Svetach [21]
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.
