Which statement justifies that phosphine (PH3) is a polar molecule?

Chemistry

lorasvet [3.4K]4 years ago
4 0
The P-H bond is polar and the molecule is asymmetric.

Non-polar bonds cannot produce polar molecules and symmetric bonds result in even distribution of charge, so no net charge is observed.

Electronegativity _____. generally increases moving from left to right across a period generally decreases moving from left to r
mojhsa [17]
I believe the correct answer would be that electronegativity generally increases moving from left to right across a period. The periodic table of elements is arranged so that trends of the properties of the elements can be shown. For electronegativity, it decreases from right to left which means for the opposite direction it increases.

What is the single factor that classifies an element as a transition metal?
klasskru [66]
The answer is b) the highest occupied orbital is a “d”orbital.
Transition metals are metals where the highest energy electrons partially fill the d subshells. There are some elements with complete d subshells but on forming cations they have incomplete d subshells.
These transition metals have some properties that are different from the other metals .

Refer to the periodic table tool and write the electron configurations of the following elements in both long and short terms
ahrayia [7]

Answer:-

Carbon

[He] 2s2 2p2

1s2 2s2 2p2.

potassium

[Ar] 4s1.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:-

For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.

The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.

For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.

So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2

Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.

So the short electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s1.

For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.

So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
