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 of the following electron configurations gives the correct arrangement of the four valence electrons of the carbon atom in

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

D) $2s^12p^3$

Explanation:

Carbon.

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^2$

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

But in methane, $CH_4$ it forms 4 bonds. So, 1 electron each from 2s orbital jumps to the next orbital in the p subshell.

Thus, the configuration is:-

$1s^22s^22p^2$

Thus, the valence electron configuration is:-

$2s^12p^3$

If you start a chemical reaction with 5 atoms of hydrogen, how many hydrogen atoms will you have when it is finished? Group of a

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

5 atoms

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, "matter is neither created nor destroyed in the cause of a chemical reaction".

We finish with what we start with in a chemical reaction. Although new species might form, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression will still be maintained.

All chemical reactions obey this law of conservation.
