Answer:
incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.
Explanation:
A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.
An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as
cation and nitrate
is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral
.
is formed by sharing of electrons between two non metals nitrogen and oxygen.
Thus
incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.
Answer:
The complete question is as follows
Given the incomplete equation: 2 N2O5(g) ==> Which set of products completes and balances the incomplete equation?
A)2 N2(g) + 3 H2(g)
B)2 N2(g) + 2 O2(g)
C)4 NO2(g) + O2(g)
D)4 NO(g) + SO2(g)
The correct option is C) 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
Explanation:
Note that the products should be NO2 and O2 since the reactant is entirely made up of N and O. option A is not correct as hydrogen cannot emerge as a product in this reaction. Matter can never be created or be destroyed bu can only change in a chemical reaction. Option D is not also correct for the same reason.
Option B is not correct since it did not balance the number of atoms of O and N in the reactant side of the equation.
The option C) 4NO2(g) + O2(g) is therefore the right option since it balances both the elements and the number of atoms of the elements present.
