Phosphorous would gain or lose electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
devlian [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: the valence electron for phosphorus is 5. To achieve an octet electron arrangement, it needs to lose 5 electrons or gain 3 electrons. It is easier to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

12.19 hours prior to discovery was the corpse placed in the desert.

Explanation:

Heat required for fly eggs to develop into first instar larvae = Exposure\,time\times temperature

From the given,

Exposure time = 16 hrs

Temperature = 27 C

=16\times 27 = 427.2^{o}C

The day time exposed hours is 10 hrs.-(7.00am-5.00pm)

=10\times 37.8 = 378^{o}C

So, the extra heat  = 427.2-378= 49.2

The addition heat divided by average temperature.

Average temperature = 22.4 C

=\frac{49.2}{22.4}= 2.19 hrs

So, the total time exposed is night time hours to day time hours.

= 10+2.19 = 12.19 hrs.

Therefore, 12.19 hours prior to discovery was the corpse placed in the desert.

Why are fixed resistors’ values indicated by color bands rather than printing the numeric value on their exterior?
gladu [14]
Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.
