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!

4. Arrange the following substances in order of increasing boiling point: CH3CH2OH, HOCH2CH2OH, CH3CH2Cl , and ClCH2CH2OH A. CH3
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A molecules that will have more number of hydrogen bonding will has highest boiling point because to break the hydrogen bonds high heat needs to be provided.

So, in the molecule HOCH_{2}CH_{2}OH there is presence of two alcoholic groups. Hence, it will have strongest hydrogen bonding as compared to the rest of molecules.

In the molecule ClCH_{2}CH_{2}OH there will be hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions. Hence, it boiling point will be slightly less than HOCH_{2}CH_{2}OH.

In the molecule CH_{3}CH_{2}OH, there will be only hydrogen bonding. Hence, its boiling point is less than ClCH_{2}CH_{2}OH.

In the molecule CH_{3}CH_{2}Cl, there is no hydrogen bonding but there will be only dipole-dipole interactions. Hence, its boiling point will be the least.

Therefore, we can conclude that increasing order of boiling point will be as follows.

        CH_{3}CH_{2}Cl < CH_{3}CH_{2}OH < ClCH_{2}CH_{2}OH < HOCH_{2}CH_{2}OH
