Answer:
B.) 6
Explanation:
Attached below is the Lewis structure of PCl₃ . Since phosphorus (P) has 5 valence electrons and chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons, there should be 26 valence electrons (5 + 7(3) = 26) in the Lewis structure.
Bonding electrons are the electrons present in the chemical bonds between two atoms.
There are 2 electrons shared in every single bond. Within PCl₃, there are 3 single bonds. As such, there are 6 bonding electrons in the Lewis structure of PCl₃.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass; the total mass of reactants on the left hand side of the reaction equation is equal to the total mass of products on the right hand side of the reaction equation.
Hence, the total mass of each atom on either side of the reaction equation should be exactly the same.
Since there are two atoms of oxygen on the reactants side, the total mass of oxygen = 16 amu * 2 = 32 amu
Since there are two oxygen atoms on the products side, total mass of oxygen = 16 amu * 2 = 32 amu
It is true that metallic bonds are responsible for many properties of metals such as conductivity.
Metallic bond is a type of chemical bond.
Metallic bond is formed between electrons and positively charged metal ions.
Substances with metallic bond conduct an electric current in liquid and solid state, because they have mobile electrons.
Most metals (for example sodium, calcium, iron, silver) have strong metallic bond, because strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
Metallic bond increace electrical and thermal conductivity.
