Answer is: n-octane.

Octane is the straight-chain alkane (an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon) with eight carbon atoms.

Carbons in octane have sp3 hybridization (carbon’s 2s and three 2p orbitals combine into four identical sp3 orbitals).

Orbitals in sp3 hybridization have a tetrahedral arrangement and form single (sigma) bonds.

Burning octane fuel is very fast chemical reaction, it happens in immediately.

Main products of the combustion of fossil fuels are carbon(IV) oxide and water.

Chemical reaction: C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O; ΔH = -5500 kJ/mol.

There are ________ unpaired electrons in the Lewis symbol for a nitride ion.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

There are no unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

There are no unpaired electrons in the Lewis symbol for a nitride ion( ${ N }^{ 3- }$ ).The nitride ion has a charge of -3. The negative charge on the Nitride ion indicates a gain in electrons . Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons that is the number of electrons that are in its outer shell .The total number of electrons that the nitride ion has is equal to 5+3 = 8 electrons . Electrons usually appear in pairs and obey the octet rule therefore the nitride ion has four electron pairs no unpaired electrons.
