Substances have different tendencies to donate or accept electrons. When a really good donor meets a great acceptor, the chemical reaction releases a lot of energy. Oxygen (O2) is the best electron acceptor and is used in many aerobic reactions (reactions with oxygen). Hydrogen gas (H2) is a good electron donor.

When O2 and H2 are combined, along with a catalyst, water (H2O) is formed. This example of a redox reaction can be written like this:

In a molecule of PCl3, 6 electrons will form
Igoryamba

Answer:

polar covalent bonds

Explanation:

Phosphorus trichloride is a chemical compound of phosphorus and chlorine, having the chemical formula PCl 3. It has a trigonal pyramidal shape, owing to the lone pairs of electrons on the phosphorus atom.

Chlorine is more elctronegative than phosphorus . Phosphorus has a lone pair of electrons and every chlorine atom has three pairs of electrons . The molecule is not symmetrical as the shared electron pairs are closer to the chlorine atoms than the phosphorus atoms , the chlorine atoms are shifted towards one side of the center of the molecule , thus a net dipole effect is created. This is the reason why the molecule is polar .

How does an electron reach an excited state
quester [9]

When an electron quickly occupies an strength state increased than its ground state, it is in an excited state. An electron can end up excited if it is given greater energy, such as if it absorbs a photon, or packet of light, or collides with a close by atom or particle.
