Phosphorus is in group 15 meaning it have 5 valence electrons. This means that it needs 3 more electrons to create a full outer shell. As these three electrons are negatively charged it means that P is a 3- ion (it’s an anion [negatively charged ion])
Answer: The given statement is true.
Explanation:
It is known that due to increase in temperature ice melts. Therefore, during ice age there is also melting of ice and solid state of water changes into liquid state of water.
Therefore, this water moves from its initial place and changes its position result in the change of land and specific areas.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement during an ice age, land can move and specific areas can be permanently changed is true.
Answer: sun is directly over the equator
Explanation:
There are only two times of the year when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a "nearly" equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes.
Answer:
Inter-molecular forces and molecular volumes are the chief reasons for lower measured pressure
Explanation:
The kinetic theory assumes that gas particles occupy a negligible fraction of the total volume of the gas. It also assumes that the force of attraction between gas molecules is zero.
However, during high pressure, the volume of the gas particles are not negligible compare to the total gas volume and as such the volume of a real gas under such condition is higher than the Ideal gas. Vander-waal attempted to modify the ideal gas equation by subtracting the excess volume from the ideal equation. The increased volume is the reason the measured pressure of a real gas is less than an ideal gas
On the other hand, close to condensation, the other assumption of negligible forces of attraction becomes invalid. As inter-molecular distances decrease, inter-molecular forces increase reducing the bombardment of the wall of the container due to restricted particle movement and lower measured gas pressure.
