An atom of element X contains 15 electrons and 16 neutrons.

(a). (I) State the mass number of X.
(ii) Write the electronic
configuration of X.
(b) (I) Write the formula of a chloride of X. pliz , it's urgent. ​

Respuesta :

  • No of protons=No of electrons=15

Mass no:-No of neutrons+No of protons

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto 15+16=31[/tex]

Now

  • It has atomic no 15 hence its Phosphorus(P)

Electronic configuration:-

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3[/tex].

  • Valency=3

Chloride formula:-

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto XCl_3[/tex]

or.

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto PCl_3[/tex]
