There are a total of 40 valence electrons in the PCl5 Lewis structure. Remember when you draw the Lewis structure for PCl5 that Phosphorous (P) is in Period 3 on the Periodic table. This means that it can hold more than 8 valence electrons.
I hope this helps and please don't report
As the warm water holds more salt then cold water the fingers cool and produce crystals of salt that soon rains down to the floor of the ocean
<span>The Law of Conservation of Mass simply states
that the total amount of mass should not change in a chemical reaction that is
isolated (no other objects can enter the reaction). The total mass of the
reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products. Thus, t</span>he correct estimate of
the amount of oxygen used in the interaction is the difference between 133
g and 29 g.
The first ionization and second ionization of an atom are similar in following ways:
1. Both ionizations involve atom and energy
2. Both lose an electron.
The difference between first and second ionization of an atom is that both started and ended with different ions/atom.
