Answer:
B.) 6
Explanation:
Attached below is the Lewis structure of PCl₃ . Since phosphorus (P) has 5 valence electrons and chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons, there should be 26 valence electrons (5 + 7(3) = 26) in the Lewis structure.
Bonding electrons are the electrons present in the chemical bonds between two atoms.
There are 2 electrons shared in every single bond. Within PCl₃, there are 3 single bonds. As such, there are 6 bonding electrons in the Lewis structure of PCl₃.
Answer:
Increasing temperature
Explanation:
Enthalpy of the reaction = -393.5 kJ/mol
Negative sign implies that reaction is exothermic.
Effect of change in reaction condition is explained by Le chateliers principle.
According to Le chateliers principle, if the reaction conditions of a reversible reaction in a state of dynamic equilibirum is changed, the reaction will move in a direction to counteract the change.
1. Increasing the temperature
Forward reaction is exothermic that means temperature increases in forward direction. Backward reaction will be endothermic and so there is decrease in temperature in backward direction or in left direction.
On increasing temperature, reaction will be move in direction to counteract the increased temperature, therefore reaction will move in left direction.
2. Adding O2
If O2 is added, then reaction will move in a direction in which its get consumed. So, reaction will move in forward direction or in right direction.
3. Removing C (s)
Le Chatelier's principle does not apply on solids, so removal of C(s) does not affect the equilibrium.
Answer:
Explanation:
The question is asking to write the <em>isotopic symbol </em>of the form for the <em>sodium isotope with 13 neutrons</em>.
In general, the isotopic symbol in the given form shows:
A = number of protons + number of neutrons
Z = number of protons
The atomic symbol of sodium is Na.
The atomic number, or number of protons, is the same for every isotope of the element, and you can find it in any periodic table. Tha atomic number of sodium is 11. Thus:
The mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons, hence:
Now you can write the isotope symbol for the sodium isotope with 13 neutrons:
