Chemistry

lions [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0

The answer is 3.

That is if an atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell, then it has 3 unpaired electrons.

As the outer shell have 1 s orbital too and that is fully filled and not available for bonding so it must have 3 unpaired electrons.

So the number of unpaired electrons in an atom that is having 5 electrons in its outer shell is 3.

What is the mass percent of nitrogen in ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3?
Margaret [11]

In order for you to calculate for the mass of ammonium carbonate, you need to know the molar mass of it and the nitrogen atoms in the compound. Ammonium carbonate has a molar mass of 96.08 grams per mole. There are two nitrogen atoms in ammonium carbonate which is equal to 28.02 grams per mole. Divide the molar mass of nitrogen to the ammonium carbonate, 28.02/96.08 x 100, we get 29.16wt% nitrogen.
