We have to calculate formula mass of N₂O.

The answer is: 44

Relative formula mass is the sum of relative atomic mass of constituent atoms in a formula unit of any compound. Relative formula mass is represented as same symbol of relative molecular mass.

To calculate relative formula mass we need to know number of each atom in the formula and then adding atomic masses of all the atoms.

In N₂O, number of N-atom present is equal to 2 and number of O-atom is equal to 1.

Atomic mass of N-atom is 14 and atomic mass of O-atom is 16.

So, formula mass of N₂O is (2 X 14)+16 = 44.

What is the molecular geometry around each carbon atom in a saturated hydrocarbon?

Lelu [443]

Answer:
<span>Molecular geometry around each carbon atom in a saturated hydrocarbon is Tetrahedral.

Explanation:
</span> In saturated hydrocarbons (-CH₂-) the central atom (carbon) is bonded to either three or two hydrogen atoms and one or two carbon atoms. So, the central atom is having four electron pairs and all pairs are bonding pairs and lacks any lone pair of electron. According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory the central atom with four bonding pair electrons and zero lone pair electrons will attain a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109°.
