1. How many covalent bonds are expected to form from phosphorus in order to obey the octet rule?

Chemistry

Grace [21]4 years ago
7 0
To satisfy the octet rule, there has to be eight electrons in phosphorus's outermost shell. Phosphorus has five electrons in its valence shell, fluorine has seven. This means that phosphorus would have to bond to three fluorine atoms in order to have eight electrons in its valence shell without breaking the octet rule in any one of the fluorine atoms.

Describe the structure of the beryllium atom. In your answer make reference to the number of sub-atomic particles and where they
dusya [7]

Answer:

The nucleus consists of 4 protons (red) and 5 neutrons (orange). Four electrons (white) occupy available electron shells (rings). The stability of an element's outer (valence) electrons determines its chemical and physical properties. Subatomic particles are particles that are smaller than the atom. Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three main subatomic particles found in an atom. Protons have a positive (+) charge. An easy way to remember this is to remember that both proton and positive start with the letter "P."

hope this helped:)
