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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

Give the value of the quantum number ℓ, if one exists, for a hydrogen atom whose orbital angular momentum has a magnitude of 6√(
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

For this angular momentum, no quantum number exist

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The magnitude of the angular momentum is  L  = 6\sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \pi} }

The generally formula for Orbital angular momentum is mathematically represented as

           L  = \sqrt{(l * (l + 1)) } *  \frac{h}{2 \pi}

Where l is the quantum number

now  

We can look at the given angular momentum in this form as

      L  = 6\sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \pi} }    =  \sqrt{36}  * \sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \pi}} }

comparing this equation to the generally equation for Orbital angular momentum

     We see that there is no quantum number that would satisfy this equation

Why does sodium form a 1+ ion but magnesium forms a 2+ ion
NARA [144]
Because Na has one too many electron to be stable, while Mg has 2. once they loose those electrons, they will be come ion. loosing one electron will give the ion a 1+ charge, and loosing 2 will create a 2+ charge

Which of the following setups will correctly convert 36.45 grams of sodium to moles of sodium?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

To convert from grams of a substance to moles of a substance, you use molar mass as a conversion factor. Sodium's molar mass is 22.99 grams per mole. To cancel out grams, you need to place grams on the bottom and moles on the top.
