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.

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per
andrezito [222]

The given statement is True.


This is single replacement reaction.

As reactivity decreases down the group,

Iodine is less reactive than Chlorine.  

And so Iodine cannot replace chlorine from FeCl2.

I2 + FeCl2 ---> no reaction (Iodine is less reactive than chlorine)

Let us assume that fe(oh)2(s) is completely insoluble, which signifies that the precipitation reaction with naoh(aq) (presented
Yuki888 [10]

17.8 mL NaOH

<em>Step 1.</em> Write the chemical equation

Fe^(2+) + 2NaOH → Fe(OH)2 + 2Na^(+)

<em>Step 2.</em> Calculate the moles of Fe^(2+)

Moles of Fe^(2+) = 500 mL Fe^(2+) × [0.0230 mmol Fe^(2+)]/[1 mL Fe^(2+)]

= 11.50 mmol Fe^(2+)

<em>Step 3.</em> Calculate the moles of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 11.50 mmol Fe^(2+) × [2 mmol NaOH]/[1 mmol Fe^(2+)]

= 23.00 mmol NaOH

<em>Step 4.</em> Calculate the volume of NaOH

Volume of NaOH = 23.00 mmol NaOH × (1 mL NaOH/1.29 mmol NaOH)

= 17.8 mL NaOH

Given the following partial (valence-level) electron configurations,<br> (a) identify each element,
Kamila [148]

The arrangement of electrons within an atom is called the electronic configuration and the electrons are filled up according to the energy of the levels as: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f.

<h3>What is the difference between electron configuration and valence electron configuration?</h3>

Electron configuration is the number of electrons that are present in the atom and is repressed through the different sub-shells. So for example, the electron configuration for oxygen is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^4. While the valence electrons only refer to the electrons in the outermost shell of the atom.

<h3>What is a partial orbital diagram?</h3>

A partial orbital diagram shows only the highest energy sublevels being filled. Al (Z = 13) 1s22s22p63s23p1. A condensed electron configuration has the element symbol of the previous noble gas in square brackets. Al has the condensed configuration [Ne]3s23p1.
