Answer:

a) 30.97

b) 3s² 3p²

I hope it's helps you

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]
