Answer:
Phosphorus makes 5 bonds with other atoms
Explanation:
has total 32 number of valence electrons (P has 5 , O has 6 and Cl has 7 valence electrons).
These valence electrons are used to draw Lewis structure of .
Formal charge on an atom = (no. of valence electrons of the atom)-(no. of covalent bonds attached to the atom)-(no. of electrons in lone pair of the atom)
Applying octet rule (atoms have eight electrons in their valence shell) and minimizing formal charge of , it has been found that P makes total 5 bonds with rest of the atoms.
Lewis structure of along with formal charge (in parentheses) has been given below.
0.500 grams would be left after 56.0 days.
After 14 days=4.00 g
After 28 days=2.00 g
After 42 days=1.00 g
After 56 days=0.500 g
This is after four half lives.
Most of the common inorganic polyatomic ions<span> have negative </span>charges<span>. This means the </span>ion has<span> more electrons than the neutral atoms that are in the </span>ion<span>. A </span>polyatomic ion<span> like phosphate, PO</span>43- has three<span> extra electrons beyond the electrons on the P and O atoms. Got this off google sorry if it doesn't help you :(</span>
