Answer:

d. p3-

Explanation:

Phosphorus has fifteen electrons in its orbitals and five electrons in its outermost shell. An atom is said to have noble gas configuration when it has eight electron in its outermost shell.

In order to have eight electrons in its outermost shell, phosphorus must accept three electrons and form an ion of the sort P^3-. This ion now has eighteen electrons (argon configuration) and eight electrons in the outermost shell.

Answer:

D. P^3-

Explanation:

Phosphorus has an electronic configuration of [Ne] 3s² 3p³ that is, 15 electrons in its shells.

At noble gas configuration, Phosphorus obtains a stable octet state of [Ne] 3s² 3p^6 (Argon electronic configuration) is 18 electrons by accepting 3 electrons.

Phophorus in this state becomes P^3-

Electronic configuration

P = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3

= [Ne] 3s2 3p3

P^3- = Ar = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

= [Ne] 3s23p6

What observation about light supported Einstein's theory?
Llana [10]

In 1905 Albert Einstein had proposed a solution to the problem of observations made on the behaviour of light having characteristics of both wave and particle theory. From work of Plank on emission of light from hot bodies, Einstein suggested that light is composed of tiny particles called <span>photons, </span>and each photon has energy.

Light theory branches in to the physics of <span>quantum mechanics, </span>which was conceptualised in the twentieth century. Quantum mechanics deals with behaviour of nature on the atomic scale or smaller.

As a result of quantum mechanics, this gave the proof of the dual nature of light and therefore not a contradiction.

When a 3.00 g 3.00 g sample of KBr KBr is dissolved in water in a calorimeter that has a total heat capacity of 1.36 kJ ⋅ K − 1
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Molar heat of solution of KBr is 20.0kJ/mol

Explanation:

Molar heat of solution is defined as the energy released (negative) or absorbed (Positive) per mole of solute being dissolved in solvent.

The dissolution of KBr is:

KBr → K⁺ + Br⁻

In the calorimeter, the temperature decreases 0.370K, that means the solution absorbes energy in this process. The energy is:

q = 1.36kJK⁻¹ × 0.370K

q = 0.5032kJ

Moles of KBr in 3.00g are:

3.00g × (1mol / 119g) = 0.0252moles

Thus, molar heat of solution of KBr is:

0.5032kJ / 0.0252moles = <em>20.0kJ/mol</em>
