What’s the electron configuration of an N-3 ion

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alla [95]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6

Explanation:

The nitride ion(N^3-) is formed when nitrogen gains three electrons. Nitrogen possesses seven electrons in its orbitals and ordinarily has the electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p3. However,being in group 15, nitrogen can accept three electrons to form the nitride ion and complete its octet of electrons. When this happens, three electrons are added to the nitrogen atom and the electronic configuration is now the same as that of Neon, its closest noble gas which is 1s2 2s2 2p6. Hence the answer given above.

Elements can accept or donate electrons in order to complete their octet structure in accordance to the octet rule which states that atoms and ions must possess eight electrons in their outermost shell in order to attain chemical stability. The reason for ion formation and chemical reaction is in order for species to attain the octet structure.

​If a bag of peas weighs 454 grams, how many peas would be in the bag?
OverLord2011 [107]

​In a bag of peas that weighs 454 grams, there are between 1261 and 4540 peas.

The average pea weighs between 0.1 and 0.36 grams.

If we take the lower value (0.1 g/pea), the number of peas in 454 g is:

454 g \times \frac{1pea}{0.1 g} = 4540pea

If we take the higher value (0.36 g/pea), the number of peas in 454 g is:

454 g \times \frac{1pea}{0.36 g} \approx  1261pea

​In a bag of peas that weighs 454 grams, there are between 1261 and 4540 peas.

Calculate the frequency
Ber [7]
Given: wavelength of Nitrogen laser (∧) = 337.1 nm = 337.1 X 10^-9 m

We know that, Energy of photon (E) = hc/∧ = hv
where, v = frequency of photon and c = speed of light = 3 X 10^8 m/s

Thus, v = c/∧ = (3 X 10^8)/ (337.1 X 10^-9) = 8.899 X 10^14 s-1.

Answer: F<span>requency of nitrogen laser = </span>8.899 X 10^14 s-1.
