Answer:

Three (3).

Explanation:

The octet rule is a rule in chemistry that states that, chemical elements would either gain or loss electrons in their outermost shell in order to attain a stable electronic configuration i.e having eight (8) valence electrons in their outermost shell such as chemical elements found in group 8 (2-8-8) known as noble gas.

A phosphorus atom needs to gain three (3) electrons to achieve a full octet because the atomic number of phosphorus is 15 and as such it has the electronic configuration of 2-8-5 and needs three electron in order to become a stable element.

Answer:

emf = 15 * Area and if A is given in square meters, the units of the emf will be Volts

Explanation:

Assuming that the area of the loop of current (A) is known, the magnitude of the induced emf can be calculated using Faraday-Lenz's Law:

$emf=|-\frac{\Delta\,\Phi}{\Delta \,t} |=|\frac{A\,B}{\Delta \,t}|=|\frac{A\,(3)}{0.2}|=15\,A$

and if the area (A) is given in square meters, the emf will directly come in units of Volts.
