Answer:
If you're just looking at the Lewis Structure from the perspective of the octet rule, it does appear that the structure is correct. Dinitrogen always has a lone pair of electrons which could conceivably be used for dative bonding as you suggest. So from that perspective there appears to be nothing wrong at all - other than that it doesn't exist in nature in this way.

Answer:
False
Explanation:
It is wrong to claim that when the attraction between particles overcomes their motion, the particles will clump together to boil.
During boiling particles do no clump together, they tend to move apart more rapidly.
- Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure overcomes the ambient atmospheric pressure.
- The hotter part of the boiler close the heat source moves rapidly away because they have become less dense.
- The colder and denser part sinks and this interaction sets up a convection cell.

Answer:</h3>
28.52 seconds
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Initial number of atoms of Nitrogen 12,000 atoms
Half-life = 7.13
Number of atoms after decay = 750 atoms
We are required to determine the time taken for the decay.
Note that half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay to a half of its original amount.
Using the formula;
Remaining amount = Initial amount × (1/2)^n , where n is the number of half lives
In our case;
750 atoms = 12,000 atoms × (1/2)^n
0.0625 = 0.5^n
n = log 0.0625 ÷ log 0.5
n = 4
But, 1 half life =7.13 seconds
Therefore;
Time taken = 7.13 seconds × 4
= 28.52 seconds
Therefore, the time taken for 12,000 atoms of nitrogen to decay to 750 atoms is 28.52 seconds
Answer:
Zn3P2O8
Explanation:
In this particular question, it is necessary to convert the respective masses to percentages. We convert to percentages by placing each mass over the total mass and multiplying by 100%. Since the total is 50mg, conversion to percentage can be done by multiplying the masses by 2 as 100/50 is 2
For Oxygen = 16.58 * 2 = 33.16%
For phosphorus = 8.02 * 2 = 16.04%
For zinc = 25.40 * 2 = 50.80%
We then proceed to divide these percentages by their respective atomic masses. The atomic mass of oxygen, phosphorus and zinc are 16, 31 and 65 respectively.
O = 33.16/16 = 2.0725
P = 16.04/31 = 0.5174
Zn = 50.80/65 = 0.7815
Now, we divide by the smallest value which is that of the phosphorus
O = 2.0725/0.5174 = 4
P = 0.5174/0.5174 = 1
Zn= 0.7815/0.5174 = 1.5
Now, we need to multiply through by 2. This yields: O = 8, P = 2 and Zn = 3
The empirical formula is thus: Zn3P2O8
Range means the difference between the highest and lowest number. So subtract 25 - 14 which gives you 11.
