<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of the atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

  • <u>Option A:</u>

Phosphorus is the 15th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

Number of valence electrons = 2 + 3 = 5

The '3s' orbital is fully filled and all the three '3p' orbitals are half filled for the given element.

So, the given statement is not correct.

  • <u>Option B:</u>

Aluminium is the 13th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^1

Number of valence electrons = 2 + 1 = 3

The '3s' orbital is fully filled and one of all the three '3p' orbitals is half filled and rest are empty for the given element.

So, the given statement is not correct.

  • <u>Option C:</u>

Calcium is the 20th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Number of valence electrons = 2

The '4s' orbital is fully filled and all the three '4p' orbitals are half filled for the given element. '4s' sub-shell has only one orbital.

So, the given statement is not correct.

  • <u>Option D:</u>

Sodium is the 11th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^1

Number of valence electrons = 1

The '3s' orbital is half filled and all the three '3p' orbitals are half filled for the given element.

So, the given statement is not correct.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

The equilibrium constant (K p) for the interconversion of PCl 5 and PCl 3 is 0.0121:
aksik [14]

Answer: At equilibrium, the partial pressure of PCl_{3} is 0.0330 atm.

Explanation:

The partial pressure of PCl_{3} is equal to the partial pressure of Cl_{2}. Hence, let us assume that x quantity of PCl_{5} is decomposed and gives x quantity of PCl_{3} and x quantity of Cl_{2}.

Therefore, at equilibrium the species along with their partial pressures are as follows.

                         PCl_{5}(g) \rightarrow PCl_{3}(g) + Cl_{2}(g)\\

At equilibrium:  0.123-x          x              x

Now, expression for K_{p} of this reaction is as follows.

K_{p} = \frac{[PCl_{3}][Cl_{2}]}{[PCl_{5}]}\\0.0121 = \frac{x \times x}{(0.123 - x)}\\x = 0.0330

Thus, we can conclude that at equilibrium, the partial pressure of PCl_{3} is 0.0330 atm.
