STALIN [3.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

e. 18

Explanation:

A neutral P atom has an atomic number of 15, which means there are 15 protons in the atom. In order to be neutral, the P atom must also have 15 electrons.

The P³⁻ anion has 3 electrons more than the neutral P atom since it has a charge of -3.

Thus, the total number of electrons are 15 + 3 = 18 electrons.

Determine the direction of bond polarity for each compound. Leave it blank for a nonpolar bond. Br−Br H−Cl F−CH3
NeX [460]

Answer:

For H-Cl, the direction is towards the chlorine atom

For F-CH3, the direction is towards the flourine atom.

Explanation:

The dipole moment is a vector quantity. This implies that it has both magnitude and direction.

Thus, the direction of the dipole moment always points from the positive atom towards the negative atom.

This explains the fact that it points to chlorine in HCl and points to flourine in F-CH3

Why are plastic containers preferred to glass containers for storing chemicals in the laboratory?
Nookie1986 [14]
Plastics are non-corrosive and non-reactive in nature. So they are used for storing chemicals in the laboratory. They are used for strong chemicals because they do not react with chemicals neither do they corrode
