Bohr model for phosphorous?

The Bohr Model for phosphorous has 15 electrons so you would draw three orbital rings. the first ring would have two dots to the right. the second shelf would be full which means that it would have two dots to the right, up left and down. The third and final orbital shelf will have two dots to the right, two dots up and one to the left. hope that helps ~ 7th grade student


Would it have been possible for the World War 2 Allies to have a napalm filled naval artillery shell?

Napalm is jellied gasoline. I should think the shock of firing a shell filled with it from artillery would be extremely dangerous and liable to detonate this unstable substance. Napalm was a mid to late WWII invention, so there would have been little time to develop such ammunition. It would take a large caliber piece of naval artillery to hold enough napalm to do any good, and I expect even a 16" battleship shell would hold less than the smaller canisters dropped by aircraft. White phosphorous shells were used to start fires. The phosphorous was sealed in the shell and scattered by its bursting. Phosphorous begins to burn when exposed to the atmosphere, and will keep burning until it no longer has a source of oxygen.
