The systematic name for the compound Pz Clg is diphosphorus octachloride potasside tetrachlorine phosphorous tetrachloride potassium(IV) chloride Question 35 (1 point) Which of the following elements has an electron configuration of [522s22p6352? Ga Na Mg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s break this down and answer both parts of your question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Part 1: Systematic Name for PzClg<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It seems there’s a typo in the chemical formula \u201cPz Clg<\/strong>\u201d. Let\u2019s interpret what you might mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • If Pz<\/strong> is meant to represent P\u2082<\/strong> (diphosphorus)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • And Clg<\/strong> is likely Cl\u2088<\/strong> (octachloride)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Then the correct formula is probably P\u2082Cl\u2088<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Correct Systematic Name:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The name for P\u2082Cl\u2088<\/strong> is diphosphorus octachloride<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So the correct name among the options is:
    \u2705 diphosphorus octachloride<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All the other names include elements (potassium, chlorine in ionic forms, oxidation states, etc.) that don\u2019t appear in the original molecular formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Part 2: Electron Configuration Question<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Which of the following elements has an electron configuration of [Ne]3s\u00b23p\u00b9?<\/strong>
    Options:
    A. Ga
    B. Na
    C. Mg<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s analyze the given electron configuration:
    [Ne]3s\u00b23p\u00b9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This configuration means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Starts with Neon core: 1s\u00b2 2s\u00b2 2p\u2076 = [Ne]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Then adds 3s\u00b2 \u2192 2 electrons<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • And 3p\u00b9 \u2192 1 electron<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Total electrons = 10 (Ne) + 2 (3s) + 1 (3p) = 13 electrons<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      So the atomic number is 13<\/strong>, which corresponds to Aluminum (Al)<\/strong>. However, Aluminum is not listed in the options.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Let\u2019s look at the options instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A. Gallium (Ga)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Atomic number = 31
      Electron configuration: [Ar] 3d\u00b9\u2070 4s\u00b2 4p\u00b9 \u2192 \u274c Doesn\u2019t match<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      B. Sodium (Na)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Atomic number = 11
      Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s\u00b9 \u2192 \u274c Doesn\u2019t match<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      C. Magnesium (Mg)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Atomic number = 12
      Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s\u00b2 \u2192 \u274c Doesn\u2019t match<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u2705 None of the choices have [Ne]3s\u00b23p\u00b9<\/strong> as their configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Correct Answer (based on given configuration)<\/strong>: Aluminum (Al)<\/strong>
      But if you must choose from the listed options, none are correct.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Conclusion:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • The correct name for P\u2082Cl\u2088 is diphosphorus octachloride<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The element with configuration [Ne]3s\u00b23p\u00b9<\/strong> is Aluminum<\/strong>, not Ga, Na, or Mg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Explanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        The first question tests your understanding of chemical nomenclature. The compound written as \u201cPz Clg\u201d seems like a typographical error. When corrected to P\u2082Cl\u2088<\/strong>, it contains two phosphorus atoms and eight chlorine atoms. According to IUPAC naming rules for molecular compounds, prefixes like “di-” for two and “octa-” for eight are used. Therefore, the correct name is diphosphorus octachloride<\/strong>. The other choices mention elements like potassium or oxidation states not found in the original molecular formula, making them incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The second question involves understanding electron configurations. The configuration [Ne]3s\u00b23p\u00b9<\/strong> starts with the noble gas core of Neon, which accounts for 10 electrons. Adding 2 electrons in 3s and 1 in 3p totals to 13 electrons, which corresponds to the element with atomic number 13 \u2014 Aluminum (Al)<\/strong>. However, aluminum is not listed among the options. Sodium (Na) has 11 electrons ([Ne]3s\u00b9), magnesium (Mg) has 12 ([Ne]3s\u00b2), and gallium (Ga), with 31 electrons, has a more complex configuration: [Ar]3d\u00b9\u20704s\u00b24p\u00b9. Since none match [Ne]3s\u00b23p\u00b9, the correct answer isn\u2019t listed. This highlights the importance of understanding both the structure of electron configurations and the periodic table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
