Answer:

3

Explanation:

Phosphorous valence is 5. so to get stable electronic configuration it has to gain 3 more electrons to its outer shell

Answer:

3

Explanation:

luckily, every phosphorus atom is looking to gain 3 electrons. It's a perfect match. But something to notice though, look how they have a bond with six electrons. That is called triple bond.

Which of the following changes in the state of a substance results in an increase in the entropy? Gas to solid Gas to liquid Liq
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Solid to liquid

Explanation:

Entropy is a state of randomness or disorderliness of the particles of a system. Some part of the heat energy of a system is related to the state of disorder or randomness of the particles of the system.

The entropic level of a system depends on two of major factors:

1. Temperature: Entropy increases with temperature rise due to the fact that the randomness of the particles of a system increases at a higher temperature.

2. Physical state of matter: The increasing order of entropy is:

Solid < Liquid < Gas

Gases are the most disordered and have the highest entropy. In moving from solid to liquid to gas, entropy of a system would increase.

Which phrase is an example of what electrostatic forces hold together?
Andreyy89

Answer:

Cs+ and Cl− in CsCl is an example of electrostatic forces that hold together.

Explanation:

The interaction that occurs between atoms that have an electric charge is called electromagnetic force. When the charges are at rest, the interaction between them is called electrostatic force. This force depends on the distance "r" between the atoms.

Depending on the sign of the charges that interact, electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive. The electrostatic interaction between charges of the same sign is repulsive (two negative charges or two positive charges), while the interaction between charges of the opposite sign (a negative charge and a positive charge) is attractive. In the case of neutral charges against negative or positive charges, no force is generated.

<u><em>Cs+ and Cl− in CsCl is an example of electrostatic forces that hold together. </em></u>In this example you have a positively charged atom (Cs₊) and a negatively charged atom (Cl₋). As they are opposite charges they will attract.

I check all of them. most of them correct but one

in question 6, the answer is the third choice. remember to find the neutrons, you take the atomic mass minus the atomic number. 38 - 18= 20

32,500 joules are used to boil a sample of water at its melting point what is the mass of the water?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

43.18 gm

Explanation:

Heat of fusion of water at 0° C is 334  j/gm

 then you have to heat the water to boiling point (100 C)

    specific heat of water is 4.186 j/g-c

x = grams of water

x ( 334 + 4.186 (100) ) = 32500

x = 43.18 gm
