Complete question is;
Identify the type of reaction in the chemical reaction below:
2P205 ➡️ 4P + 502
single replacement
synthesis
decomposition
combustion
double replacement
Answer:
Decomposition
Explanation:
We. An see in the question that the compound 2P205 is broken down into simpler substances which are phosphorus (P) and oxygen (O).
Now, this is a decomposition reaction because a decomposition reaction is one in which a compound is broken down into simpler substances

Answer:
They all belong to the p block in the periodic table
Explanation:
Let us examine the electronic configuration of each element;
Oxygen - [He] 2s2 2p4
Silicon - [Ne] 3s2 3p2
Selenium - [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p4
A common thread that joins all the elements listed above is that they all belong to the p-block in the periodic table. They could be collectively referred to as p-block elements.
Answer:
The correct statements that you must check are:
- The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does (second statement).
- The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (fourth statement).
Explanation:
Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to pull the electrons in a covalent bond.
Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and oxygen has 3.44. That means that oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does (second statement).
As consequence, the electrons in the covalent bond H - O of water are not shared equally (fourth statement): the electron density will be higher around the O atoms.
Of course, this discards the statement telling that hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom, and the statement telling that hydrogen and oxigen have same electronegativity.
Such difference in electron densities creates a dipole moment, so you discard the last statement (that the water dipole moment is equal to zero).
