No, it is not feasible. Three metallic ions cannot provide the exact number of electrons that one sulfur needs for the ionic bond
Aleks04 [339]3 years ago

Answer: No it is not feasible.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here the non metal is sulfur having an oxidation state of -2 and thus the formula of an ionic compound containing sulfur can never be X_3S as the neutral compound is formed by exchange of oxidation states. Thus the subscript of X has to be 2.

Why did bohrs observations of gaseous elements not reveal a complete spectrum when the light was shone through a prism? explain
Vika [28.1K]
The Bohr model proposed that electrons could just have characterized vitality levels thus when rotting back to a lower vitality level discharge a specific measure of vitality. Since the measure of vitality could be changed over to a specific recurrence then particular emanation lines were found in the electromagnetic range. Alternate speculations couldn't clarify the discharge lines.

What is the purpose of the stairstep pattern on the periodic table of the elements?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: The bold staircase in the periodic table allows us to classify which elements are metalloids.

Explanation: Additionally, it acts like a "divider" that allows us to properly distinguish the metals from the non-metals in the periodic table.

How many PO43? ions are in a mole of K3PO4?
adoni [48]

K₃PO₄ → 3K⁺ (aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq)

One mole of PO₄³⁻ ion gets dissociated from one mole of K₃PO₄

As per the definition of Avogadro's number, 1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ ions

One mole of PO₄³⁻ ions x  (6.022 x 10²³ ions/ 1 mole of PO₄³⁻ ions )

= 6.022 x 10²³ ions

Therefore , there are 6.022 x 10²³ PO₄³⁻ ions in a mole of K₃PO₄.
