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.

Which of the following is an example of specific immunity?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Immunity to Small Pox

Explanation:

Over the years, Europeans had built up an immunity to smallpox because many had contracted the disease and still survived. As the population grew children were born with some immunity to the disease. When the Europeans arrived in the Americas, and smallpox spread around the native peoples, the Europeans did not contract the disease because they were immune. However, since the natives were not immune, they slowly died of due just to the disease as well as some parts of the war between the europeans.
