Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of oxygen atom is 8 and its electronic distribution is 2, 6. So, it contains only 2 orbitals which are closer to the nucleus of the atom.
As a result, the valence electrons are pulled closer by the nucleus of oxygen atom due to which there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atom.
Whereas atomic number of sulfur is 16 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 6. As there are more number of orbitals present in a sulfur atom so, the valence electrons are away from the nucleus of the atom.
Hence, there is less force of attraction between nucleus of sulfur atom and its valence electrons due to which size of sulfur atom is larger than the size of oxygen atom.
Thus, we can conclude that the oxygen atom is smaller than the sulfur atom because the outer orbitals of oxygen are located closer to the nucleus than those of sulfur.
Answer: An atom can be considered unstable in one of two ways. If it picks up or loses an electron, it becomes electrically charged and highly reactive. Such electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Instability can also occur in the nucleus when the number of protons and neutrons is unbalanced.
Explanation:
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
- The correct structure of phosphoric acid is A.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- P should form five covalent bonds. In this strcuture P form three single bond with 3-hydroxyl groups while one single bondformed with oxygen. As oxygen will form two bonds , it carry negative charge, while P should form five bond but here it is forming 4 bonds due to this P has positive charge but overall structure contain neutral charge due to cancellation of positive and negative charges. Beside this, there are 3 H, Four O and One P according to formula H3PO4.
The mass will stay the same because of the conservation of mass
Answer:
pH = -log₁₀ [H⁺]
Explanation:
pH is a value in chemistry used in to measure solution trying to determine each quality, purity, risks for health of some products, etc.
As you write in the question, [H⁺] = 10^(-pH)
Using logarithm law (log (m^(p) = p log(m):
log₁₀ [H⁺] = -pH
And
<h3>pH = -log₁₀ [H⁺]</h3>
