Answer:

PCl5 is a covalent bond

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are bonds between a metal and a non-metal.

Covalent bonds are bonds between 2 or more non-metals.

Neither P or Cl are metals, therefore PCl5 has a covalent bond.

<span>The type of bond that a Phosphorous pentachloride have is an Ionic Bonding. It is a form of chemical bond that encompasses the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions which serves as the primary interaction happening in ionic compound. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons and Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Phosphorus contributes 1 electron to each chlorine and all the 6 achieve 8 electrons in the outer shell thus creating an ionic bond.</span>

Nitrogen has two isotopes. One has an atomic mass of 14.003
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

d= 14.007 amu

Explanation:

Abundance of N¹⁴ = 99.63%

Abundance of N¹⁵ = 0.37%

Atomic mass of N¹⁴ = 14.003 amu

Atomic mass of N¹⁵ = 15.000 amu

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass = (14.003 × 99.63)+(15.000× 0.37) /100

Average atomic mass =  1395.12 + 5.55 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 1400.67/ 100

Average atomic mass = 14.007 amu.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer: Option b. 50 neutrons and 38 protons.

Explanation:

Atomic number = proton number = 38

Mass number = proton number + Neutron

Mass number = 88

Proton = 38

Neutron number =?

Neutron number = Mass number — proton number

Neutron number = 88 —38 = 50
