The chemical purpose of heating the MnSO4⋅H2O is to eliminate water with the formation of new compounds.

<h3>Dehydration reactions</h3>

Dehydration reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves the removal of water which would eventually lead to the formation of a new compound.

The molecule of MnSO4⋅H2O contains a molecule of water(H2O). After heating of the molecule, water is lost giving rise to the dry compound MnSO4.

Other examples of dehydration reactions are:

  • Reactions that produce acid anhydrides.

  • Reactions that involve the production of polymers.

  • Reaction of sucrose with concentrated sulfuric acid

Therefore, the chemical purpose of heating the MnSO4⋅H2O is to eliminate water with the formation of new compounds.

Phosphorus can be stable with 12 electrons in its valence structure while nitrogen can never have more than 8 electrons in its v
dolphi86 [110]

Here we have explain that the maximum possible electrons present in nitrogen valence shell is 8 whereas in phosphorous 12 valence electrons are present.

Although both nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) belongs to the same series there are several properties which are different between both the element. The number of electrons present in nitrogen is seven which are present in the -s and -p orbitals. The electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1s²2s²2p³. In which the outermost electrons are the valence electrons i.e. 5 valence electrons are present. The maximum orbitals are possible under the principal quantum number 2 are -s and -p orbitals. Now the maximum capacity of the p orbital to contain 6 electrons, as it is half filled in nitrogen another 3 electrons can be incorporated. Thus the maximum number of electrons can be present in nitrogen is 10 among which 8 is the valence electrons.

On the other hand there are 15 electrons in phosphorous the electronic configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p³. Now the principal quantum number 3 can have three orbitals -s, -p and -d. So another 13 electrons can be incorporated (3 in -p orbital and 10 in -d orbital) among which upto 12 electrons can be its valence electrons.
