Options are as follow,

A. P₄O₁₀
B. PCl₅
C. Ca₃(PO₄)₂
<span>D. KH</span>₂PO₃

Answer;
            The correct option is Option-D (KH₂PO₃).

Explanation:
                   Oxidation number of Phosphorous is calculated as,

As the normal oxidation number of K is +1, H is +1 and O is -2 so,

                                       KH₂PO₃  =  0

0 shows that the molecule is neutral. Now puttion values of all elemnts except P,
 
                                  (+1) + (+1)₂ + P + (-2)₃  =  0

                                  +1 + 2 + P - 6  =  0

                                  +3 + P - 6  =  0

                                  +3  + P  =  +6

                                  P  =  +6 - 3

                                  P  =  +3

Explain in words or using your diagrams how beryllium atoms would react with fluorine atoms.
Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

To delineate the the nature of the bonds that would be formed between the two elements, let us first write the electronic configuration of the two species;

  Be  = 2, 2

  F  = 2, 7

 Beryllium is a metal with two valence electrons whereas fluorine is a halogen with seven valence electrons.

When Be loses two electrons it becomes isoelectronic with He;

                 Be →  Be²⁺ + 2e⁻  

Also, when fluorine gains  an electron, it becomes isoelectronic with Ne;

               F  + e⁻ →  F⁻

This loss and gain of electrons between the two elements creates an electrostatic attraction them and they enter into an electrovalent bond.

      Hence;

           Be²⁺  + 2F⁻ → BeF₂
