 Both compounds are composed of covalent bonds and gaseous under room temperature and pressure. According to data, PH3 has a low boiling point than NH3, though the former being heavier than the later. This is due to intermolecular H- bonding in the later which is absent in the former. The oxidation state of phosphorous in PH3 is (- 3) as that for nitrogen in NH3. Both phosphine and ammonia react with oxygen to produce P2O5 gas and water, and N2 gas and water.

Explanation: Both of these molecules are covalently bonded and are polar in nature. Since they are polar covalent molecules, they have dipole-dipole inter molecular forces of attraction.

In ammonia, N atom is the central atom and three H atoms are bonded to it and N atom has one lone pair of electrons due to which its molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal.  Similarly, in phosphine, P is the central atom and three H atoms are bonded to it and it has one lone pair of electrons due to which its molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal.

Nitrogen is more electron negative than phosphorous. Hydrogen boding is present in ammonia as hydrogen atoms are bonded to more electron negative nitrogen atom.

Due to the presence of hydrogen bonding, ammonia molecule experience stronger attraction forces as compared to phosphine.

Question 1 of 10
Alina [70]

D. The total number of gas molecules will decrease.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, an increase in pressure in a system involving gases will cause the total number of gas molecules to decrease.

Le Chatelier's principle states that "if any conditions of a system in equilibrium is changed, the system will adjust itself in order to annul the effect of the change".

In a reaction involving gases, a change in pressure affects only reactions in a gaseous phase.

An increase in pressure on an equilibrium system will shift the position of the equilibrium to the side having smaller volume and vice versa.

Which of the following statements best describes why carbon can form a variety of organic compounds? Carbon atoms bond readily w
olga_2 [115]
Answer:
            <span>Carbon readily forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.

Explanation:
                   As we know approximately more than 95 % compounds, either isolated, discovered or synthesized belongs to organic compounds containing carbon atoms.
                  This great diversity of organic compounds is due to following facts.

1) Catenation:
                      Carbon has a peculiar behavior of self linkage. This self linkage of one carbon with another is called as catenation. In this way carbon can form a long chain of carbon atom. A branching can also take place when one carbon is bonded further to three of four carbon atoms.

2) Isomerism:
                     Secondly the carbon containing compounds show isomerism. In which molecular formula is same but structural formula is different. For example molecular formula C</span>₅H₁₂ can make following compounds,

                                a)  n-Pentane

                                b)  2-Methylbutane

                                c)  2,2-Dimethylpropane

3) Multiple Bonds:
                            Carbon can form multiple bonds i.e double bond like in alkenes and triple bonds like in alkyne. 

Due to these factors carbon gets very high number of opportunities to form large number of compounds.

Identify the property of the matter described below.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: C.

Explanation: Alcohol floats on oil and water sinks in oil. Water, alcohol, and oil layer well because of their densities, but also because the oil layer does not dissolve in either liquid. The oil keeps the water and alcohol separated so that they do not dissolve in one another. ... Water sinks because it is more dense than oil.

How are force, mass, and motion related?
Sonja [21]
Force causes all motion, and the larger the mass of an object the stronger the force needs to be to accelerate the object.
