The Lewis structure of PF3 shows that the central phosphorus atom has one non bonding and three bonding electron pairs. In this compound each Phosphorus atom contributes 5 valence electrons while each fluoride contributes 7 valence electrons making a total of 26 valence electrons. The central Phosphorus atom forms single bonds with each of the fluoride atoms. Phosphorus, therefore ends up with a non-bonding pair since the fluoride atoms already have 8 electrons around them.

Answer : The Lewis structure of $PF_3$ shows that the central phosphorus atom has 1 non-bonding and 3 bonding electron pair(s).

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

The number of valence electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, phosphorous trifluoride.

As we know that phosphorous has '5' valence electrons and fluorine has '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in phosphorous trifluoride, $PF_3$ = 5 + 3(7) = 26

According to electron-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 20 number of non-bonding electrons.

The Lewis structure of $PF_3$ shows that the central phosphorus atom has 1 non-bonding and 3 bonding electron pair(s).

The Lewis-dot structure of $PF_3$ is shown below.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The concentration is 0,2925M

Explanation:

We use the formula

C initial x V initial = C final x V final

11,7 M x 25 ml = C final x 1000 ml

C final= (11,7 M x 25 ml)/1000 ml = 0, 2925 M

(This formula applies to liquid solutions)

Using the following data table and graph, calculate the average k from the data. Amount CO2 (mL) Amount of White Solid (g) y x 1

UkoKoshka [18]

The k is the proportionality constant of the reaction. Graphically, this is the slope of the graph. Since the graph is linear, then there is only 1 value of k. To calculate this, choose two random points in the line. Suppose we use (0.15,10) and (0.30,20), calculate for the slope.

Slope = k = (10 - 20)/(0.15 - 0.30) = 66.67 mL CO₂/g CaCO₃

what can you say about the average distance from the nuclease of an electron the 2's orbital as compared with a 3s orbital

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

A 3s orbital is at a greater average distance from the nucleus than a 2s orbital

Explanation:

As the principal quantum number n increases, the distance of the orbital from the nucleus increases. Hence if we consider the 2s and 3s orbitals, it is easy to see that the 3s orbital is at a greater distance from the nucleus than the 2s orbitals.

This is clearly seen when we plot the radial distribution against the distance from the nucleus. This enables us to visualize the region in space in which an electron may be found.

You have two containers of equal volume. one is full of helium gas. the other holds an equal mass of nitrogen gas both gases hav

alexira [117]

Let's assume that both He and N₂ have ideal gas behavior.

Then we can use ideal gas law,
PV = nRT
Where, P is the pressure of gas, V is the volume, n is moles of gas, R is universal gas constant and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

The P and V are same for the both gases.
R is a constant.

The only variables are n and T.

Let's say temperature of He is T₁ and temperature of N₂ is T₂.

n = m/M where n is moles, m is mass and M is molar mass.

Molar mass of He is 4 g/mol and molar mass of N₂ is 28 g/mol

Since mass (m) of both gases are same,
moles of He = m/4
moles of N₂ = m/28

Let's apply the ideal gas equation for both gases.
For He gas,
PV = (m/4)RT₁ (1)

For N₂ gas,
PV = (m/28)RT₂ (2)

(1) = (2)
(m/4)RT₁ = (m/28)RT₂ 
 T₁/4 = T₂/28
T₁ = T₂/7
 7T₁ = T₂

Hence, the temperature of N₂ gas is higher by 7 times than the temperature of He gas.
