Phosphorus has three electrons in its 3p sublevel and sulfur has four. phosphorus should have the lower ionization energy but it does not, sulfur does. why?
a. because sulfur has more electrons, they are further from the nucleus and thus easier to remove and form an ion.
b. sulfur has 2 of its electrons paired in the 3p sublevel. the mutual repulsion of their negative charges makes them easier to remove, or "ionize."
c. since sulfur has more electrons, it has more chances to form an ion.
d. phosphorus has 2 of its electrons paired in the 3p sublevel, which makes them harder to remove, or "ionize."

Identify one disadvantage to each of the following models of electron configuration: -dot structures -arrow and line diagrams -written electron configurations type in your answer below. (answer) -dot structures do not show the distribution of electrons in orbitals and take up a lot of space. -arrow and line diagrams take up a lot of space and make it difficult to count electrons. -written configurations make it easy to lose count of electrons and do not show the distribution of electrons in orbitals.

A100 kmol/h stream that is 97 mole% carbon tetrachloride (ccl4) and 3% carbon disulfide (cs2) is to be recovered from the bottom of a distillation column. the feed to the column is 16 mole% cs2 and 84% ccl4, and 2% of the ccl4 entering the column is contained in the overhead stream leaving the top of the column. calculate the mass and mole fractions of ccl4 in the overhead stream, and determine the molar flow rates of ccl4 and cs2 in the overhead and feed streams. 12. mw_ccla- 153.82; mw_cs2-76.14.
