How many electrons are there in second principal energy level(n=2) of a phosphorus atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

8 electrons

Explanation:

Phosphorous is the element of group 15 and third period. The atomic number of chlorine is 15 and the symbol of the element is P.

The electronic configuration of the element phosphorus is:-

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

Thus, from the electronic configuration shown above,

In n = 2, the total number of electrons are 8 which are present in 2s^22p^6

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of copper. 63cu has a mass of 62.9296 amu. 65cu has a mass of 64.9278 amu. determine
SSSSS [86.1K]
1) You need to use the atomic mass of copper.


You can find it in a periodic table. It is 63.546 amu.


2) The atomic mass is the weigthed mass of the different isotopes.


This is, the atomic mass of one element is the atomic mass of each isotope times its corresponding abundance:


=> atomic mass of the element = abundance isotope 1 * atomic mass isotope 1 + abundance isotope 2 *  atomic mass isotope 2 + ....+abundance isotope n * atomic mass isotope n.


3) The statement tells there are two isotopes so the abundance of one is x and the abundance of the other is 1 - x


=> 63.546 amu = x * 62.9296 amu + (1-x)*64.9278


=> 63.546 = 62.9296x + 64.9278 - 64.9278x


=> 64.9278x - 62.9296 = 64.9278 - 63.546


=> 1.9982x = 1.3818


=> x = 1.3818 / 1.9982 = 0.6915 = 69.15%


=> 1 - x = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085 = 30.85%


Answer:


Cu-63 69.15%;


Cu-65 : 30.85%

What does the host mean when he says that the acid has "donated a proton" to the water?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

As Brønsted-Lowry theory states, acids are the ones that can donate protons.

When a proton is donated, it is released to become medium more acidic.

HCl is a strong acid.

HCl (l) + H₂O (l)  →  H₃O⁺ (aq) +  Cl⁻(aq)

These always reffers to strong acid where the dissociation is 100% completed.

In a weak acid, dissociation is not 100% complete, that's why we have an equilibrium.

HA (l) + H₂O (l)  ⇄  H₃O⁺ (aq) +  A⁻(aq)                   Ka

Which type of bonding is characterized by overlapping orbitals that allow outer electrons of atoms to move about freely througho
Sonja [21]

Answer:

D metallic

Explanation:

The chemical bonding which rises from electrostatic attractive force between the conduction electrons and the positively charged metal ions is called metallic bonding.

<u>It is sharing of the free electrons among the structure of the positively charged ions which are known as cations. </u>

<u>In this type of bonding, these free electrons freely move in the crystal mattice of the metal.  </u>

The bonding accounts for properties of metals, such as ductility, strength,  electrical and thermal conductivity and resistivity and luster.
