Answer:

₁₅P = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³

Explanation:

Phosphorus is the second element of group (v) with atomic number 15 and the electrons per shell are arrange as thus; 2, 8, 5.

The electronic configuration of phosphorus is

₁₅P = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³

Or

₁₅P [Ne] 3s² 3p³

In its first shell I.e 1s shell, it has 2 electrons filling it to s-orbital requirement. In its second shell, electrons fill it in 2s² 2p⁶ filling the second orbital and attaining an octet configuration. The third shell contains 5 electrons filling 3s² 3p³ orbital.

Witch two chemists organized the elements based on properties suck as how the elements reacts or whether they are solid or liqui
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Antoine Lavoisier and Johann Wolfang Döbereiner organized the elements based on properties such as how the elements reacts or whether they are solid or liquid.

Explanation:

The periodic table of the elements as we have it today was developed as a result of the work of several notable centuries who lived centuries apart, all of who made notable contributions to development of the modern periodic table in use today.

In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier, a French Chemist provided a definition of elemets which he defined as a substance whose smallest units cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. He further grouped the elements into two as metals and nonmetals.

In 1829, German physicist Johann Wolfang Döbereiner arranged elements in groups of three in increasing order of atomic weight and called them triads. His arrangement owasf elements into triads was based on his observation of similarities in physical and chemical properties of certain elements.

John Newlands, a British Chemist was the first to arrange the elements into a periodic table with increasing order of atomic masses.

In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev developed a periodic table which provided a framework the modern periodic table. He arranged the elements according to their atomic weight, leaving gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered.

The modern periodic table arranges elements based on increasing atomic number.
