Answer:
Three hydrogen atoms to form PH₃.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since the elements belonging to the nitrogen family (N, P, As, Sb and Bi) show five valence electrons, because there are five electrons at their outer shell, it is clear that if phosphorous bonds with hydrogen, it is going to require the same amount of oxygen atoms (3) because elements having five valence electrons need 3 bonds in order to attain the octet (5+3=8).
Therefore the compound would be:
Which is phosphine.
Best regards!
This is a build up of lava which came out of the volcano in previous eruptions, once this lava came out of the volcano it cooled and hardened, over many eruptions layers of hardened volcanic rock will form. The layers are slanted as gravity acts on the lava so it flows down and a little further from the cone.
Answer:
CCl₄, because it is the heaviest compound.
Explanation:
When a liquid is in a closed container, evaporation occurs, in what the molecules with the highest kinetic energy can scape of the liquid. The vapor that was formed does pressure on the liquid that remains, and when both phases stay in equilibrium the pressure is called vapor pressure.
We can notice that the vapor pressure is a measure of the volatility of a liquid. Substances with higher vapor pressure are more volatile. The volatility, however, depends on the nature of the forces in the compound and on the molar mass of it.
For the substances given, they are all covalent compounds and have dipole-induced-dipole-induced bonds between the molecules (because they are nonpolar). So, the lowest vapor pressure is in the heaviest compound, which is the most substituted: CCl₄.
