In addition to those in Table 14.3, other less stable nitrogen oxides exist. Draw a Lewis structure for each of the following:(c
1 answer:
Lewis structure for each of the following N₂O₃ with no N¬N bond is attached below.
Even though pi symmetry occupies the antibonding orbitals of NO, this is unimportant after the dimer forms. A sigma connection exists. The enthalpy of the newly formed sigma bond in the dimer is low because the loss of a particularly distinctive set of single-electron resonance forms that were available for no monomer offset the net gain in bond. When the whole free energy is taken into account, there is no gain because the entropic effects are on the order of 1030kJ/mol, and dimerization is entropically disfavored at G=17kJ/mol. Therefore, any little increase in enthalpy is cancelled out by the loss of entropy.

The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles γ
- positron particles ₁e⁰
O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same
Reaction
The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7
If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)
