A white phosphorus molecule is in the shape of a regular tetrahedron, that is a pyramid with an equilateral triangle for its base. At each corner of the molecule is a phosphorus atom.

What is crystals structure?

The arrangement of atoms in definite pattern regularly & it gives rise 3d shape is called as crystal structure.


What is the main structure of protein molecules?

Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids that are folded into a specific 3D structure. This structure is crucial for the protein to function properly. The primary structure refers to the specific sequence of amino acids in the chain, while the secondary structure involves the folding of the chain into alpha helices and beta sheets. Tertiary structure refers to the overall 3D shape of the protein, while quaternary structure involves the arrangement of multiple protein subunits.


Noble gas electron configuration of selenium and phosphorus?

The noble gas electron configuration of selenium is [Ar] 3d^10 4s^2 4p^4 and for phosphorus is [Ne] 3s^2 3p^3. These configurations indicate how the electrons are arranged in the outermost energy levels of the atoms, resembling the stable electron configurations of noble gases.


How can you predict the structure of a substance by only looking at its symbol?

By looking at the symbol of a substance, you can determine the number and type of atoms present in the molecule. Based on the elements present and their arrangement in the periodic table, you can make predictions about the bonding and possible structures of the substance. Advanced techniques such as X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy are often needed to determine the exact 3D structure.


Quaternary structure of proteins?

The quaternary structure is the overall structure of an enzyme complex. This is made of at least two separate polypeptide chains. The 3D structure of one polypeptide is known as the tertiary structure.

Orbital for ion most likely formed by phosphorus?

Phosphorus is likely to form the 3d orbital when it becomes an ion. This is because phosphorus typically forms the 3- charge, leading to it losing three electrons and leaving behind the 3d orbital in its ionized form.

When phosphorous is excited what will its electronic configuration be and Will the excited electron go to 4s orbital as per energy level diagram or 3d orbital and why?

In the case of excited phosphorus, the electron will bump up to the 3d level. This is the next closest location (in terms of energy) that the electron can go. Even though ground state phosphorus has no electrons in 3d, the atom can still access that sub-level because the principal quantum numbers for 3p (where its valence electrons are anyway) and 3d are the same.


What hybrid orbitals are used by phosphorus in PCl6?

Phosphorus in PCl6 uses sp3d2 hybrid orbitals, which involve one 3s orbital, three 3p orbitals, and two 3d orbitals. This hybridization allows phosphorus to form six sigma bonds with the six chlorine atoms in PCl6.

Why does the green and red 3D effects still show when watching my 3D films?

Older 3D movies use red/green 3D glasses. If the color of the red and green on the lenses of the glasses is not an exact match to the color of the film, there will be ghosting in these colors.


How many orbitals in a phosphorus atom?

There are 9 occupied orbitals in a phosphorus atom's ground state: one 1s orbital, one 2s orbital, three 2p orbitals, one 3s orbital, and three 3p orbitals.
