What charge will an ion of phosphorus form?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Fed [463]3 years ago

Answer:

A charge of -3

Explanation:

If you look on a periodic table you will find that phosphorus is 3 elements away from the nearest noble gas argon. This means that phosphorus would prefer a charge of -3!

Answer:typically it will be -3

Explanation:

It prefers to take up 3 electrons and thereby become phosphide with a -3 charge. since it is a nonmetal it will take up electrons making it negative as an ion. In order to fill up its last shell, to become stable, to form an octet it will need 3 added electrons which will give it that -3 charge. An atom of phophorus will be neutral, An ion of phsphorus will have a -3 charge.

never [62]
1. it increases then decreases i.e +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, -2, -1 then 0.
2. group 6 elements have more valence electrons than group 2.
3.fluorine is the most reactive because reactivity and electronegativity reduces down the group.

At 400 K oxalic acid decomposes according to the reaction:H2C2O4(g)→CO2(g)+HCOOH(g)In three separate experiments, the intial pre
padilas [110]

Answer:

v = 2,66x10⁻⁵ P[H₂C₂O₄]

Explanation:

For the reaction:

H₂C₂O₄(g) → CO₂(g) + HCOOH(g)

At t = 0, the initial pressure is just of H₂C₂O₄(g). At t= 20000 s, pressures will be:

H₂C₂O₄(g) = P₀ - x

CO₂(g) = x

HCOOH(g) = x

P at t=20000 is:

P₀ - x + x + x = P₀+x. That means P at t=20000s - P₀ = x

For 1st point:

x = 92,8-65,8 = 27

Pressure of H₂C₂O₄(g) at t=20000s: 65,8-27 = 38,8

2nd point:

x = 130-92,1 = 37,9

H₂C₂O₄(g): 92,1 - 37,9 = 54,2

3rd point:

x = 157-111 = 46

H₂C₂O₄(g): 111-46 = 65

Now, as the rate law is :

v = k P[H₂C₂O₄]

Based on integrated rate law, k is:

(- ln P[H₂C₂O₄] + ln P[H₂C₂O₄]₀) / t = k

1st point:

k = 2,64x10⁻⁵

2nd point:

k = 2,65x10⁻⁵

3rd point:

k = 2,68x10⁻⁵

The averrage of this values is:

k = 2,66x10⁻⁵

That means law is:

v = 2,66x10⁻⁵ P[H₂C₂O₄]

I hope it helps!

The chemical formula of bromomethane is BrCH3. Which correctly describes the number of atoms of each element in bromomethane?
Anit [1.1K]

The number of atoms of each element :

C : 1 atom

H : 3 atoms

Br = 1 atom

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Bromomethane-CH₃Br

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

The number of atoms in a compound is generally indicated as a subscript after the atom

C : 1 atom

H : 3 atoms

Br = 1 atom

Total 5 atoms

Explain mitosis and meiosis in your own words.
LuckyWell [14K]
I always remembered the differences by Mitosis sounds like My Toes Is. Which means its body cells reproducing. 
And Meiosis is My overies. Which is sex cells reproducing. 

Mitosis - The body cell's nucleus makes a copy of its chromosomes. The Chromotids are then pulled to the poles of the cell and split in half, the cell then divides in half into two new cells. Each cell has one pair of chromosomes each.

Meiosis - The sex cells nucleus makes a copy of each chromosome same as before. But then the similar chromosomes group up and swap parts with each other. Making completely new chromosomes. They then split in half again, making two new cells with two different pairs of chromosomes. Which then split apart Once more creating 4 new cells (From the original one) Each with completely random chromosomes.
