Chemistry

Rudik [331]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct name for P₄S₃ is tetraphosphorous  trisulfide or also known as phosphorous sesquisulfide.

Explanation:

P represents the element phosphorous.

S represents the element sulfur.

Since there is a 4 beside P, then we are going to use the prefix "tetra-". Since there is a 3 beside S, then we are going to use the prefix "tri-". We will also use the suffix "-ide" in sulfur because we are naming a compound with multiple elements.

So, P₄S₃ will be named tetraphosphorous trisulfide. When using more scientific terms, then the name of the compound is phosphorous sesquisulfide.

<h3>What is an electron?</h3>

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle.

Let us take another look at the periodic table. The periodic table is composed of metals, metalloids and nonmetals.

Metals lose electrons more easily, that is why they form cations. Metals are found on the left-hand side of the periodic table.

As we move away from the left-hand side of the periodic table, the ability to form cations decreases as metallic character decreases and elements become more nonmetallic.

The noble gas helium rarely loses electrons. Fluorine would rather accept an electron to form a negative ion.

Hence, the elements hydrogen, iron and gallium are metals hence they lose electrons more easily.

Hence, option B is correct.
