As has an atomic number of 33, so it has 33 protons.
It has a charge of 3-, so there are three more electrons than protons. Thus, there are 36 electrons.
It has a mass of 75, which is the sum of neutrons and protons.
33+n=75 ---> n = 75 - 33 = 42 neutrons
The answer is e) 33 protons, 42 neutrons and 36 electrons.
Answer:
The answer would either be Carbon or Silicon.
Explanation:
The chemical formula for the compound containing 8.6 mol of sulfur and 3.42 mol of phosphorus is P₂S₅
<h3>How do I determine the formula of the compound?</h3>
From the question given above, the following data were obatined:
- Sulphur (S) = 8.6 moles
- Phosphorus (P) = 3.42 mole
- Chemical formula =?
The chemical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:
Divide by their molar mass
S = 8.6 / 32 = 0.26875
P = 3.42 / 31 = 0.11032
Divide by the smallest
S = 0.26875 / 0.11032 = 2.44
P = 0.11032 / 0.11032 = 1
Multiply by 2 to express in whole number
S = 2.44 × 2 = 5
P = 1 × 2 = 2
Thus, the chemical formula is P₂S₅

Yeah...it should be out of your system by then
Compounds are not formed by accepting electrons. Number 1 and 3 are correct.
