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 does ''Isotope'' means? &from which language that drives from? answer to me then you will have 20 points help me then y
coldgirl [10]

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.

The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos ("equal") and topos ("place"), meaning "the same place".
