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>

a total of 1.4 moles of sodium nitrate is dissolved in enough water to make 2.0 liters of an aqueous solution. the gram-formula
kompoz [17]

Answer:

1.4 moles/ 2.0 L= 0.7 M

Explanation: Molarity= moles of solute/ Liters of solution

therefore just plug the numbers in and you'll find the molarity to equal. 0.7

Which laws can be combined to form the ideal gas law? Boyle’s law and Charles’s law Gay-Lussac’s law and Avogadro’s law Charles’
kolezko [41]
Ideal gas law is a combination of three gas laws, which are Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro's law. Ideal gas law states that PV = nRT, where:
P = pressure of the gas
V = volume of the gas
n = no of moles of the gas
R = universal gas constant
T = absolute temperature in Kelvin

200.00 grams of an organic compound is known to contain 83.884 grams of carbon, 10.486
ololo11 [35]

The empirical formula of a given compound is C6H9ON5.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Step 1: Obtain the mass of each element present in grams

                  Element % = mass in g = m

Carbon = 83.884 grams, Hydrogen = 10.486 grams, Oxygen = 18.640 grams, Nitrogen = 86.99 grams.

Step 2: Determine the number of moles of each type of atom present

                m/atomic mass = Molar amount (M)

Molar amount of carbon = (83.884 1 mol ) / 12 g = 6.99

Molar amount of hydrogen = (10.486  1 mol) / 1 g = 10.49

Molar amount of oxygen = (18.64  1 mol) / 16 g = 1.17

Molar amount of nitrogen = (86.99  1 mol) / 14 g = 6.21

Step 3: Divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles

            M / least M value = Atomic Ratio (R)

Atomic radius of carbon = 6.99 / 1.17 = 5.9 = 6

Atomic radius of hydrogen = 10.49 / 1.17 = 8.9 = 9

Atomic radius of oxygen = 1.17 / 1.17 = 1

Atomic radius of nitrogen = 6.21 / 1.17 = 5

Step 4: Convert numbers to whole numbers. This set of whole numbers are the subscripts in the empirical formula.

            R * whole number = Empirical Formula

The empirical formula of a given compound is C6H9ON5.
