If you look at the periodic table of elements, you can see that atomic number for phosphorus is 15. It means that it has 15 electrons and 15 protons total. Now you can write configuration for P which is: 1s22s22p63s23p3. or [Ne] 3s2<span> 3p</span><span>3 </span><span>
From here, you can see that it has 5 valence electrons (s2+p3).
In the periodic table of elements the number of protons+ number of neutrons is determined as atomic mass. Atomic mass of the P is 30.
number of neutrons = atomic mass-atomic number
number of neutrons = 30-15
number of neutrons= 15 </span>
Answer:
atomic number
Explanation:
The periodic table is a table that lists all of the chemical elements in order of atomic number, starting with hydrogen and ending with oganesson. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of a certain element is its atomic number.

14. a. Acidic
15. b. Weaker
16. d. Dilute and weak
Explanation:
14. Which type of the solution is one with the pH of 3?
Solution with pH from 1 to 7 are acidic, equal to 7 is neutral and from 7 to 14 basic. The solution with the pH equal to 3 is <u>acidic</u>.
15. The smaller the value of the base dissociation constant (Kb), the <u>weaker</u> the base.
The dissociation reaction of a base (B) is:
B + H₂O → BH⁺ + OH⁻
Kb is defined as:
Kb = ( [BH⁺] × [OH⁻] ) / ( [B] × [H₂O] )
The potency of the base depends on the concentration of the hydroxide ion [OH⁻], so if the Kb ratio is small it means that the concentration of hydroxide ion is smaller so the base will be <u>weaker</u>.
16. A 0.39 M solution of an acid that ionizes only slightly in solution would be termed <u>dilute and weak</u>.
The acid is weak because is only slightly ionizing in solution. The therm diluted is a little bit arbitrarily because we ask yourself "diluted in respect with what"? I would characterize the acid to be diluted at a concentration of 1 M and concentrated at a concentration of 10 M.

Answer:
The 2s orbital is at a higher energy level.
Explanation:
1s and 2s are the sub-orbitals that are located in an atom. They are nearest to the nucleus and are found on the s sub-orbital. The difference between 1s and 2s is the difference in their level of energy. 1s has low energy as compared to 2s. 1s orbital has the lowest energy because it is located closed to the nucleus. 2s orbital has higher energy than 1s because it's orbit is larger than 1s.
