Answer:

Based on the Modern Periodic table, there is an increase in the electropositivity of the atom down the group as well as increases across a period. On comparing the electropositivities of the mentioned oxides central atom, it is seen that Ca is most electropositive followed by Al, Si, C, P, and S is the least electropositive.

With the decrease in the electropositivity, there is an increase in the acidity of the oxides. Thus, the increasing order of the oxides from the least acidic to the most acidic is:

CaO > Al2O3 > SiO2 > CO2 > P2O5 > SO3. Hence, CaO is the least acidic and SO3 is the most acidic.

In this simulation, ___________________ will be used to stimulate the axon.

inysia [295]

Voltage is known to be used as a requirement for stimulating an axon. The axon conducts electrical signals away from the nerve cell. The main function of the axons is that it is specifically used to transmit information, in a form of electrical impulse, to the other parts of the body.

The total number of valence electrons in the phosphate ion is

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways you can count the valence electrons.

A. From the Periodic Table

1 × P (Group 15) = 5

4 × O (Group 16) = 4 × 6 = 24

+3 e⁻ (for the charges) = 3

Total = 32

B. From the Lewis structure

In the Lewis structure (below), each line (bond) represents a pair of bonding electrons, and each dot represents an unbound electron (half a lone pair).

5 lines (bonds) = 5 × 2 = 10

3 single-bonded O atoms = 3 × 6 = 18

1 double-bonded O atom = 4

Total = 32
