Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

In diphosphorus pentoxide there will be two phosphorous atoms and 5 oxygen atoms according to its name.

Therefore, the formula for diphosphorus pentoxide will be P_{2}O_{5} and it is a solid.

Thus, the correct skeleton equation for the reaction that takes place when solid phosphorus combines with oxygen gas to form diphosphorus pentoxide will be as follows.

                 P(s)+ O_{2}(g) \rightarrow P_{2}O_{5}(s)

Which is an acceptable Lewis structure for a diatomic nitrogen molecule?
timofeeve [1]
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons (ve-), so a diatomic nitrogen molecule will have twice as many, 10 valence electrons. Then, just draw electrons in pairs of 2 until you both get ride of all of them (reach 0) and you fill every atom (eight electrons each). It can be drawn either way, the important thing is that there are 3 electron pairs shared between the two atoms.

How many atoms are in 123 g of calcium
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Molar mass of Ca = 40 g / mol , given 123 g Ca is 123/40= 3.075 moles,

1 mole = 6.022 * 10^23 atoms, so 3.075 moles Ca= 18.51*10^23 atoms
