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>
The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. This process utilizes instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum. Every element has a unique fingerprint that allows researchers to determine what it is made of.
The fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light. Every atom has electrons, and these electrons like to stay in their lowest-energy levels. But when photons carrying energy hit an electron, they can push it to higher energy levels. This is absorption, and each element’s electrons absorb light at specific wavelengths related to the difference between energy levels in that atom. But the electrons want to return to their original levels, so they don’t hold onto the energy for long. When they emit the energy, they release photons with exactly the same wavelengths of light that were absorbed in the first place. An electron can release this light in any direction, so most of the light is emitted in directions away from our line of sight. Therefore, a dark line appears in the spectrum at that particular wavelength.
Because the wavelengths at which absorption lines occur are unique for each element, astronomers can measure the position of the lines to determine which elements are present in a target. The amount of light that is absorbed can also provide information about how much of each element is present.
Answer: 25.5°C
Explanation: take the average of the reading i.e (25 + 26)/2= 25.5
Answer:
Q = 1461.6 J
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of ice = 36 g
Initial temperature = -20°C
Final temperature = 0°C
Amount of heat absorbed = ?
Solution:
specific heat capacity of ice is 2.03 j/g.°C
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = T2 - T1
ΔT = 0°C - (-20°C)
ΔT = 20°C
Q = 36 g ×2.03 j/g.°C×20°C
Q = 1461.6 J
Answer:
λ = 1.1×10⁸ m
Explanation:
Given data:
Frequency of wave = 2.7 Hz
Wavelength of wave = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength
Speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s
now we will put the values in formula.
3×10⁸ m/s = 2.7 s⁻¹ × λ
λ = 3×10⁸ m/s /2.7 s⁻¹
λ = 1.1×10⁸ m
