Answer:

Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.

Which statement best describes what happens when thermal energy of the
vitfil [10]

When the thermal energy of the air around a fire is transferred to the surrounding air  A. The thermal energy is spread out by the surrounding air.

Thermal energy transfers occur in 3 approaches conduction, convection, and radiation. whilst thermal power is transferred among neighboring molecules that are in touch with each other, which is referred to as conduction.

Thermal strength refers to the power contained inside a system that is liable for its temperature. heat is the go with the flow of thermal electricity. an entire department of physics, thermodynamics, offers how heat is transferred among exceptional systems and how work is accomplished in the manner.

Thermal strength also referred to as heat strength is produced when a rise in temperature reasons atoms and molecules to transport quicker and collide with each other. The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is referred to as thermal strength.

¡¡¡PLEASE HELP!!! I'm stuck on a question..
Reptile [31]

 The half  life  of uranium- 238  is

 4.46 x10^9  years


 Explanation

Half life  is the time  taken for  the  radioactivity  of   a isotope  to fall  to half  its  original  value.

The  original   mass  of uranium-238  is  4.0 mg

  Half  of original  mass of uranium  = 4.0  mg /2 = 2.0  mg

since  it  take 4.46  x 10^ 9 years  for  the sample   to half  the half life of uranium -238 = 4.46 x10^9 years
