At room temperature oxygen, is present in the gas phase.
A gas is defined as a substance which is characterized by the rapidly movement of molecules which are widely separated. The shape and volume of gas is not definite that is they take on the shape of the container in which it is placed. The gas molecules have minimum inter-nuclear attractions and thus have high kinetic energy.
Thus, the sentences that describes oxygen at room temperature are:
- It has no definite volume and takes the shape of its container.
- Its particles move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them.
- It has more energy than it would be at a cooler temperature as the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature that is kinetic energy increases on increasing the temperature.
Answer:
Explanation:
Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.
However, when we talk about the atomic number of the ion, it is not equal to the number of electrons as electron can be gained or loosed.
This is why, more appropriately, the number of the protons which are present in the nucleus of the atom is called the atomic number.
Thus, atomic number of phosphorus = 15
Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.
Given, Mass number = 32
Thus, the symbol of the isotope is:-
