How many electrons does phosphorus have in its valence shell and neutrons in its nucleus, respectively?

1 answer:

5 0

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 3p3 
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

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation: I think its 4.91 x 10^25. Im not very sure, i just multipled 1.15 mol by the molar mass of Cl 2, which was 70.9 g. Then I multiplied that by avogadro's number. sorry if im wrong

1. Classify rust:

Arisa [49]

1. Rust, or Fe2O3, is a Chemical Compound.

2. Carbon is a Chemical Element found as C on the periodic table.

3. Apple Juice is a Heterogeneous Mixture, as it is uniform throughout. If it wasn't uniform, there would be yucky lumps in your apple juice :)

If I helped you out, I would greatly appreciate if you went through my other answers I gave you and gave them the brainliest answer :)

Explain your reasoning. Match each explanation to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.

Answer:

A (I_2(g), Br_2 (g), Cl_2 (g), F_2 (B): The ranking can best be explained by the trend entropy decreases as 5. molar mass decreases.

B (H_2O_2 (g), H_2S(g), H_2O(g): The ranking can best be explained by the decreases a trend entropy decreases as 3. molar mass and structure complexity decreases.

C. (C(s, amorphous), C(s, graphite), C(s, diamond): The ranking can best be explained by the trend entropy decreases as 4. structure complexity decreases.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, we can understand a higher entropy when more disorder is present and a lower entropy when less disorder is present, thus:

A (I_2(g), Br_2 (g), Cl_2 (g), F_2 (B): The ranking can best be explained by the trend entropy decreases as 5. molar mass decreases since iodine has the greatest molar mass (254 g/mol) and fluorine the least molar mass (38 g/mol).

B (H_2O_2 (g), H_2S(g), H_2O(g): The ranking can best be explained by the decreases a trend entropy decreases as 3. molar mass and structure complexity decreases since hydrogen peroxide weights 34 g/mol as well as hydrogen sulfide but the peroxide has more bonds (more complex, higher entropy).

C. (C(s, amorphous), C(s, graphite), C(s, diamond): The ranking can best be explained by the trend entropy decreases as 4. structure complexity decreases since diamond has a well-ordered structure and amorphous carbon has a very disordered one.

Best regards.

(Please help, ASAP) How many grams are in 3.45x10^23 atoms of P?

Daniel [21]

one mole of P weights about 31 grams

in one mole there are 6.022*10^23 atoms

we use the rule of threes

6.022*10^23atoms......weight..........31 grams

3.45*10^23 atoms.........weight...........x grams

x=(3.45*10^23*31)/6.022*10^23

x=106.95/6.022=17.76 grams
