Correct answer: has a completely filled outermost shell
Atoms of the element with complete outermost shells are stable. So, in order to attain stability the atom either loses electrons or gains electrons to completely fill the outermost shell. The stable electronic configuration for the s and p-block elements is exhibited by the noble gases or the group 8 elements. All the unstable atoms try to attain the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas with completely filled outermost shell.
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello
In this case, given the reaction:

It means that since the coefficients preceding phosphorous and phosphorous trifluoride are 1 and 4, the correct mole ratio should be:

Because given the mass of phosphorous it is convenient to convert it to moles and then cancel it out with the moles on bottom of the mole ratio.

Answer:
The volume in cubic centimeters is 250
Explanation:
The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.
If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:
a ⇒ b
c ⇒ x
So:

The direct rule of three is the rule applied in this case where there is a change of units. To perform this conversion of units, you must first know that 1 mL = 1 cubic centimeters. So, if 1 cubic centimeters is 1 mL, how many cubic centimeters equals 250 mL?

cubic centimeters= 250
<u><em>The volume in cubic centimeters is 250</em></u>
Answer:
e) pH is independent of concentration.
Explanation:
a) It is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. <em>TRUE. </em>A buffer is defined as a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.
b) Resists pH changes because it reacts with added acid or base. <em>TRUE. </em>Thermodynamically, the reaction of added acid or base is faster with the buffer mixture than with H⁺ or OH⁻ ions of the solutions.
c) The maximum buffer capacity is at pH = pKa. <em>TRUE. </em>The buffer capacity is pka±1. For this, buffer capacity is maximum in pka.
d) pH is dependent on the solution ionic strength and temperature. <em>TRUE.</em> Ionic strength and temperature are factors that influence concentrations of ions in solutions as the H⁺ ion that is the responsible
e) pH is independent of concentration. <em>FALSE. </em>pH in a buffer depends completely of concentrations of the acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.
