By increasing atomic number
It's B ------------------------------------
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Having the same electronegativity means that the both elements will form a nonpolar bond. The shared electrons of the bind will be found equidistant from the nucleus of the two atoms because none has an unusual ability to attract the electrons of a bond towards itself.
If the reaction is represented by:
PCl₃ + Cl₂ <-> PCl₅ (exothermic)
the mole fraction of chlorine in the equilibrium mixture will change according to the following:
Decrease the volume: decrease
Increase the temperature: increase
Increase the volume: increase
Decrease the temperature: decrease
