Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract the  shared electrons of a covalent bond towards itself. Electronegativity is a trend that increases across the period and decreases down the group in the periodic table.

All the compounds listed are halides of phosphorus. The electronegativity of halogens decrease in the order; F> Cl> Br > I. Hence F has the greatest electronegativity in the group. It decreases as atomic and ionic radius increases.

As the electronegativity of the halogen atom decreases, the electron pair on the halogen atom lie closer to the central  phosphorus atom hence the repulsion between electrons increases and so does the bond angle increase likewise.

Given that blood exerts the same osmotic pressure as a 0.15 M NaCl solution, which solution could be the isotonic solution
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

0.15 (M) of NaCl            

Explanation:

An isotonic solution is defined as the solution having the same osmolarity, or the same solute concentration, as the another solution. If the two solutions are to be separated by any semipermeable membrane, then water will start flowing in equal parts from each solution and also into the other.  

In the context, since it is given that the red blood cells exerts the same osmotic pressure as a 0.15 (M) of NaCl solution.

Thus, 0.15 (M) of NaCl is a isotonic solution.

A group of students working in a high school chemistry lab believe they have discovered a new element! How exciting? Upon furthe
spayn [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Information given about the element:

Number of protons = 74

Number of neutrons = 110

For the atomic number:

Neutral atoms such as this one would have their atomic number to be the same with their number of electrons and protons:

     atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

The atomic number would therefore be 74

For the mass number:

The mass of an atom is centrally concentrated within the tiny nucleus. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Protons and neutrons are nuclear particles and are called nucleons:

     Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons = 74+110=184

Is this a new element?

From the peroidic table, tungsten(W) perfectly fits this description of the atom. It has an atomic number of 74 and a mass number of approximately 184. The element is not a new element.

Is it solid, liquid, or gas?

The element is a hard metallic solid. It is a classified as a transition metal on the periodic table. Transition metals have very unique metals and are mostly solids.
