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

Many repeating, simple subunits are joined together. What is the most likely
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

O a polymer

Explanation:

When many repeating simple subunits are joined together, this results into a polymer.

The simplest unit or smallest unit of any substance is called a monomer. When many units of a monomer joins together, a polymer results.

  • For proteins, the monomeric unit is amino-acid.
  • When they combine they form longer chain molecules called proteins.
  • For carbohydrates, the monomeric unit is called glucose.
  • When they are combined they give us a wide range of carbohydrate molecules.

How many individual orbitals does carbon use for all of its electrons? Remember, there are two electrons in each filled orbital
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Three orbitals

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of carbon is given as follows;

1s²2s²2p²

Therefore, out of the six electrons of the carbon atoms, 4 fill the 1s and 2s orbitals with 2 electrons each, while the two remaining electrons are situated in the 2p orbital, with the electrons in the 2p orbital will remain unpaired such that they will have similar quantum numbers in accordance with Pauli exclusion principle.

Kp for the following reaction is 0.16 at 25 degree C. 2 NOBr(g) 2 NO(g) Br_2(g) The enthalpy change for the reaction at standard
finlep [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

2 NOBr_{(g)} \iff 2 NO_{(g)} + Br_{2(g)}

From above:

K_p = 0.16 = \dfrac{(P_{NO})^2 (P_{Br})}{(P_{NOBr})^2}

To predict the effect of the addition of Br₂(g);

The addition of Br₂(g) will favor the equilibrium to shift to the left i.e. formation of NOBr

The removal of some NOBr will cause the equilibrium position to shift to the left side. This is because concentration on the left side is decreased and the concentration on the right side will be increased. Thus, the equilibrium will shift towards where the concentration is reduced which is the left side.
