What type of bond would form between two atoms of phosphorus?

Chemistry

finlep [7]3 years ago

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Non-metals are the substances which tend to gain electrons from a donor atom in order to attain stability.

For example, atomic number of phosphorous is 15 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 5.

As it contains 5 valence electrons electrons therefore, it needs 3 more electrons in order to attain stability.

Hence, when one phosphorous atom combines with another phosphorous atom then it results in sharing of electrons. So, there will be formation a triple bond between the two phosphorous atoms.

Also, there will be one lone pair of electron on each phosphorous atom.

Thus, we can conclude that triple covalent bond would form between two atoms of phosphorus.

Over [174]

Answer:

Most substituted alkene is produced as a major product

Explanation:

  • Dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol proceeds through E1 mechanism to form alkenes.
  • Most substituted alkene is produced as major product because of presence of highest number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms corresponding to the produced double bond (Saytzeff product).
  • Here, a H-shift also occurs in one of the intermediate step during dehydration to produce more stable tertiary carbocation.
  • Reaction mechanism has been shown below.

Which of the answer choices correctly describes Le Châtlier's principle?
almond37 [142]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

A. When a reaction is at chemical equilibrium, a change in the system will cause the system to shift in the direction that will balance the change and help the reaction regain chemical equilibrium.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Le Chatelier's principle states that when a change or a "stress" is placed on a system that is at equilibrium, the system will shift in such a way to relieve that change or stress.
  • The stresses include; changing the concentration of reactants or products, altering the temperature in the system and changing the pressure of the system.
  • Therefore; <u><em>when a chemical reaction is at equilibrium and experiences a change in pressure, temperature, or concentration of products or reactants, the equilibrium shifts in the opposite direction to offset the change. </em></u>

A balanced chemical reaction obeys the law of...
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: (C) conservation of matter

Solution: Law of conservation of matter or mass states that' total mass of the reactants should always be equal to the total mass of the product that is the total mass is remained conserved in a chemical reaction.

A balanced chemical equation always follow this law.

For example:

2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

Mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

Mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol

Total mass on the reactants = 2(2×1)+(2×16)= 36g/mol

Total mass on the product side = 2[(2×1) +16] = 36 g/mol

As,

Mass on reactant side = Mass on the product side

Therefore, a balanced chemical reaction follows Law of Conservation of mass.
