Hi, I believe this question is asking what charge Phosphorus will have when it forms an ion. If that is the case, you will see that it based on the column it is in, neutral Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. When it becomes an ion (has 8 valence electrons), it will GAIN three electrons. Meaning, we can predict that Phosphorus will have a 3- charge when it becomes an ion.
<span>The correct answer is Beryllium. They all belong to atoms that have low electronegativity, and as you go down the group the farther away you are the lower it gets. This means that they are not good at bonding with and attracting pairs of electrons. Berryllium has an electronegativity of 1.5, which is low compared to Fluorine, the highest one that has 4.</span>
Answer:
The large the atomic radius the more the metallic character of elements
Explanation:
The atomic radius is related to the metallic character in a way that the larger the atomic radius, the more metallic a body becomes.
Therefore, as we go down a group, metallic character increases.
- Metallic character relies on the ability and willingness of an atom to share its valence electrons.
- As the size of an atom becomes large, the more metallic it is and the more its metallic character.
- In some other cases this character is known as electropositivity.
Use number of mole=mass (in grams) divided by molar mass
AKA n=m/Mr
->Using the mass (4.78g) given to you until he question. Then put the number of mole in pV=nRT but rearrange to
p=nRT divided by volume (V).
AKA p=nRT/V
Also don't forget to convert your temperature to Kelvins (add 273 to your temperature)
