First, we need to state the chemical equation for the combustion of PH3

And the mass of PH3 is 17.0 grams and we need to know the moles.
In the periodic table, the atomic mass of the P (phosphorus) is 31 and the atomic mass of the H (hydrogen) is 1.
So, you sum the mass of P to the mass of H multiplied by 3 and you obtain this:

With this data, we can search the moles of PH3:
Answer:
c. alkyne.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the attached file, it turns out possible for us to say that alkanes have only single-bonded carbon atoms, alkenes have two double-bonded carbon atoms and alkynes have two triple-bonded carbon atoms.
In such a way, according to the aforementioned definition, we infer that that an organic compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen and a triple bond (all the other bonds are single bonds) is classified as c. alkyne.
Regards!
Electronic configuration: The distribution or arrangement of electrons of a molecule or an atom in molecular or atomic orbitals.
Ground state electron configuration: The distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule around the nucleus with lower levels of energy.
Now,
stands for Ruthenium with atomic number 44. It is a metal and thus, has ability to lose electrons and, becomes positively charged ion.
One can write the electronic configuration with the help of atomic number and Afbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle etc.
Ground electronic Configuration is as follows:

Soft Hand notation: ![[Kr]4d^{7}5s^{1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BKr%5D4d%5E%7B7%7D5s%5E%7B1%7D)
Now, when ruthenium loses two electrons then it becomes
, thus electron configuration becomes
Soft Hand notation: ![[Kr]4d^{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BKr%5D4d%5E%7B6%7D)
The ground state electronic configuration of Ruthenium is
and when it loses two electrons, then electronic configuration becomes
(

Answer:
b. The number of electrons
Explanation:
A "neutral atom" has a <u>neutral charge</u>. This means that <em>its charge is equal to </em><em>zero. </em>In order for the charges to cancel out each other, the atom's <em>positive charge should be equal to the negative charge. </em>These being said, the number of electrons<em> (negatively-charged)</em> is then equal to the number of protons <em>(positively-charged). </em>Those atoms which are not neutral are called <em>"ions."</em> This means that they either have more or less electrons than the protons.
