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:

PH_3

Which is phosphine.

Best regards!

How did Ernest Rutherford change the atomic model?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

D. He showed that most of an atom's mass was located in the atom's

nucleus.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford changed the atomic model because of his experiment which was the gold foil experiment. A beam of alpha particles was aimed at a piece of gold foil, most particles passed through but some were scattered backward which showed that the middle of an atom (nucleus) is the where most of the mass is located.

Exhibits the highest intermolecular<br> forces of the states of matter.
disa [49]

Answer:

Solid

Explanation:

In solid there are strong intermolecular forces present as compared to liquid and gas. This is why solid are in more packed form as compared to liquid and gas. In liquid and gas intermolecular forces are week that's why molecules are away from each other and occupy more space.

Properties of gases:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.

Their densities are very low as compared to the liquid and solids.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other therefore by applying pressure gases can be compressed.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules.

Properties of Liquid:

Liquid have definite volume but don't have definite shape.

Their densities are high as compared to the gases but low as compared to the solids.

In liquid, molecules are close to each other and have greater inter molecular forces as compared to the gas molecules.

Properties of solids:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.
