The oxidation numbers for Nitrogen are respectively -3, +5, +4
julia-pushkina [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The oxidation number are

NH₃: -3

HNO₃ : +5

NO₂ : +4

Explanation:

The oxidation number is calculated considering that

a) oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 in all compounds except hydrides

b) oxidation number of oxygen is -2 in all compound except peroxides, superoxides and compound of fluorine.

a) NH₃ : let the oxidation number of nitrogen is "x"

x + 3 (+1) = 0

Therefore x = -3

b) HNO₃

Let the oxidation number of nitrogen is "x"

+1 + x +3(-2) = 0

x = -5.

c) NO₂

Let oxidation number of nitrogen ix "x"

x + 2(-2)= 0

x = +4

Which pair of elements is most likely to chemically combine and form ionic bonds, chlorine and chlorine or lithium and chlorine,
olya-2409 [2.1K]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The pair of elements that is most likely to chemically combine and form ionic bonds would be <span>lithium and chlorine. Lithium is metal and chlorine is nonmetal which as a compound forms ionic bonds. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Which sequence of events is required to form a limestone cave where you can walk around and observe cave formations, such as sta
N76 [4]

Answer:

Which sequence of events is required to form a limestone cave where you can walk around and observe cave formations, such as stalactites? (Note: stalactites hang from the ceiling - they have to hold on tight to the roof.)

A geological sequence of events as involving the lowering of the water table to expose cave structures where stalactites and stalagmites form which is described as follows,

Explanation:

1. Acidic percolated water formed cavities of solution beneath the natural water table known as phreatic zone

2. After the passage of time there is a drop in the water table dropped forming caves from cavities

3. These caves, which are air filled voids that contains adequate environment for forming stalactites and stalagmites and where they are found

Zinc phosphide, Zn3P2, is often used as a rat poison. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. How many valence electrons does each z
Helen [10]
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1 
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4 
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.

<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.

Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>
