DaniilM [7]3 years ago

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>

In a room full of air, the air is mainly composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules (both at room temperature). Find (to two sign
zloy xaker [14]

Explanation:

Expression for the v_{rms} speed is as follows.

            v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

where,   v_{rms} = root mean square speed

                     k = Boltzmann constant

                    T = temperature

                    M = molecular mass

As the molecular weight of oxygen is 0.031 kg/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Hence, we will calculate the value of v_{rms} as follows.

               v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                            = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.02 K}{0.031 kg/mol}}

                            = 498.5 m/s

Hence, v_{rms} for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.

For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its v_{rms} speed as follows.

                v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                              = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.92 K}{0.028 kg/mol}}

                              = 524.5 m/s

Therefore, v_{rms} speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.

Answer:

The arm that was not sprayed with anything

Explanation:

The control group would be <u>the arm that was not sprayed with anything</u>.

<em>The control group during an experiment is a group that forms the baseline for comparison in other to determine the effects of a treatment. The control group does not include the variable that is being tested and as such, it provides the benchmark to measure the effects of the tested variable on the other group - the experimental group. In this case, the experimental group would be the arm that was sprayed with the repellent.</em>

Which of the following is NOT true regarding Rutherford's Gold Foil experiment?
erastova [34]

Answer:

The area around the nucleus must be of low mass.

Explanation:

Rutherford`s experiment showed that there are some positive charges in the center of the atoms, and because they are all together, they will give a great mass to the atom.

It was quite different from Thomson`s experiment, in which it was thought that the negative charges were mixed with the positive charges, around the atom (like a Pudding Model). In Rutherford`s experiment, because the direction of beta particles, it was the prediction of the positive nucleus.

Hope this info is useful.

43 mg = [?]g <br>A. 0.043 g <br>B. 4.3 g <br>C. 4300 g <br>D. 43,000 g​
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Option A (0.043 g) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given:

= 43 mg

As we know,

1 \ mg = \frac{1}{1000} \ g

then,

⇒ 43 \ mg = \frac{43}{1000}  \ g

              = 0.043 \ g

Thus, the above is the correct alternative.
