If you look at the periodic table of elements, you can see that atomic number for phosphorus is 15. It means that it has 15 electrons and 15 protons total. Now you can write configuration for P which is: 1s22s22p63s23p3. or [Ne] 3s2<span> 3p</span><span>3 </span><span>
From here, you can see that it has 5 valence electrons (s2+p3).
In the periodic table of elements the number of protons+ number of neutrons is determined as atomic mass. Atomic mass of the P is 30.
number of neutrons = atomic mass-atomic number
number of neutrons = 30-15
number of neutrons= 15 </span>
Metals have the ability to conduct electricity.
Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile and are good conductor of heat and electricity.
They conduct electricity because the electrons in metal are delocalized electrons and are free moving electrons so when they gain energy (heat) they vibrate more quickly and can move around, this means that they can pass on the energy more quickly.
A. The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius.
Atomic size decreases in a period but the ionization energy and electronegativity increases across a period.
<h3>
Describe the trends in the atomic size, ionization energy and electronegativity?</h3>
Atomic radius decreases across a period because of nuclear charge increases whereas atomic radius of atoms generally increases from top to bottom within a group because there is again an increase in the positive nuclear charge.
Ionization energy increases when we move from left to right across an period and decreases from top to bottom.
Electronegativity also increases from left to right across a period and decreases from top to bottom.
So we can conclude that atomic size decreases in a period but the ionization energy and electronegativity increases across a period.
