Phosphorus is in group 15 meaning it have 5 valence electrons. This means that it needs 3 more electrons to create a full outer shell. As these three electrons are negatively charged it means that P is a 3- ion (it’s an anion [negatively charged ion])

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  

On left side of periodic table atoms of metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons or we can say metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons so their reactivity increase down the group because of easily  removal of electrons.

On right side of periodic table atoms of nonmetals are more reactive by gaining the electrons. As we move down the group nuclear attraction becomes smaller because of shielding thus electron are less attracted by nucleus and reactivity decreases.

Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is a stimulant found in coffees and teas. When dissolved in water, it can accept a proton from a water mole
Olenka [21]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

If we want to find the acid and the Brønsted-Lowry base, we must remember the definition for each of these molecules:

-) Acid: hydrogen donor

-) Base: hydrogen acceptor

In the <u>caffeine structure,</u> we have several atoms of nitrogen. These nitrogen atoms have the ability to <u>accept</u> hydronium ions (H^+). Therefore the caffeine molecule will be the base since it can accept

If caffeine is the base, the water must be the acid. So, the water in this reaction donated a hydronium ion.

<u>Thus, caffeine is the base and water the acid. (See figure 1)</u>

When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as?
Jet001 [13]
A force of attraction that holds atom together
When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as a force of attraction that holds atom together. A force of attraction is defined as a kind of force that draws two or more objects together regardless of distance. There are two major categories of forces of attraction, one is intramolecular and intermolecular. Intramolecular forces is the presence of forces in atoms internally. While intermolecular is the force by which the force that is existent in two or more elements.

Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3. Glycerin, a liquid used in some soaps, has a density of 1.26 g/cm3. If an object sinks in wate
sdas [7]
For an object to sink in something, it's density has to be higher than the object it is in, so if it sinks in water the number has be higher than 1

And to float, and objects density has to be lower than that of the substance it is put in, so it has to be lower than 1.26

So between 1 and 1.26

Using the periodic tables, identify the heaviest member of each of the following groups:
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(a) Alkali metals: Francium (Fr)

(b) Chalcogens: Polonium (Po)

(c) Noble gases: Radon (Rn)

(d) Alkaline earth metals: Radium (Ra)

Explanation:

In the periodic table, the atomic mass increases down the group. Therefore, the last element of a group is the heaviest element of the group.

(a) alkali metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 1 of the periodic table, except hydrogen.

<u>The heaviest member of this group is francium (Fr)</u>

(b) chalcogens: The chemical elements that are present in group 16 of the periodic table

<u>The heaviest member of this group is polonium (Po)</u>

(c) noble gases:  The chemical elements that are present in group 18 of the periodic table

<u>The heaviest member of this group is radon (Rn)</u>

(d) alkaline earth metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 2 of the periodic table.

<u>The heaviest member of this group is radium (Ra)</u>
