<span>Answer:
Connect the atoms with single bonds. The less electronegative is the phosphorous atom. Hence, the P atom is going to be the central atom. Recall that electronegativity decreases as we move away from the fluorine atom in the periodic chart.

Answer:
C. 17 grams.
Explanation:
∵ mass % = [mass of solute/mass of solution] x 100.
mass of solute (NaCl) = ??? g & mass of solution = 140.0 g.
<em>∴ mass of NaCl = (mass %)(mass of solution)/100 </em>= (12.0)(140.0)/100 = <em>16.80 g ≅ 17.0 g.</em>
homeostatic imbalance is the answer, because it's when the internal environment cannot remain in equilibrium.
