Phosphorus has three electrons in its 3p sublevel and sulfur has four. Phosphorus should have the lower ionization energy but it

does not, sulfur does. Why? A. Phosphorus has 2 of its electrons paired in the 3p sublevel, which makes them harder to remove, or "ionize." B. Sulfur has 2 of its electrons paired in the 3p sublevel. The mutual repulsion of their negative charges makes them easier to remove, or "ionize." C. Because sulfur has more electrons, they are further from the nucleus and thus easier to remove and form an ion. D. Since sulfur has more electrons, it has more chances to form an ion.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

First of all it is important to know that a half filled orbital is particularly stable. In phosphorus all the electrons occur singly in the 3p sublevel minimizing inter electronic repulsion hence it is more difficult to remove an electron from this energetically stable arrangement. In sulphur, electrons are paired in one of the 3p orbitals thereby lowering the energy of that level due to instability caused by interelectronic repulsion between two electrons in the same orbital.

Look at the electron-dot diagram. What type of bond would two sulfur atoms require to form a molecule?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Double Covalent

Explanation:

When two of the same element combine it will always be a covalent bond between them and since sulfur has two lone electrons it will make a double bond between the two to have a full octect

Entropy of a system decreases with decrease in Temperature T/F
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

Entropy means the measure of randomness present in a substance. That is, an increase in temperature will lead cause more motion in the particles of a substance more will be their kinetic energy.

As a result, there will occur more collisions due to which randomness of molecules will increase. Hence, there will be increase in entropy.

So, when we decrease the temperature then there will be decrease in motion of particles. As a result, lesser number of collisions will take place between them. Hence, degree of randomness will also decrease.

Thus, we can conclude the statement entropy of a system decreases with decrease in temperature, is true.
