Chemistry
1 answer:
Elenna [48]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C. Electrons equal the number of protons

Explanation:

An atom is electrically neutral because...

a. Neutrons equal the number of protons

b. Proton forces pull on the neutrons

C. Electrons equal the number of protons

d. Electrons equal the number of neutrons

to be electrically neutral, the number os positive charges from thethe negative charges from the electrons

so

the number of protons must  equal the number of electrons

ignore neutrons,  they have NO charge

so

C. Electrons equal the number of protons

What is the angle between the phosphorus-fluorine bonds? (if there is more than one angle, pick the smallest.)
lorasvet [3.4K]

Between equatorial positions, the F-P-F angle is 120°, and between axial and equatorial positions, it is 90°.

<h3>What in chemical bonding is equatorial position?</h3>

Equatorial Organic Chemistry Illustrated Glossary. Equatorial: In cyclohexane, a bond that runs parallel to the ring's axis (i.e., it follows the chair's equator), or a group joined by such a bond. Positions A are axial, and positions E are equatorial.

<h3>Why do equatorial positions have greater stability?</h3>

As was said in the preceding section, the equilibrium favors the more stable conformer because the chair conformation, in which the methyl group is equatorial, lowers steric repulsion. All monosubstituted cyclohexanes share this property.
