Answer : The Lewis-dot structure are shown below.
Explanation :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule. The valence electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is,
In this molecule, the nitrogen atom is a less electronegative element as compared to oxygen and fluorine. So, the nitrogen is the central atom and oxygen and nitrogen are the neighboring atoms.
As we know that the nitrogen has '5' valence electrons, oxygen has '6' and fluorine has '7' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 5 + 6 + 7 = 18
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons.
The Lewis-dot structure are shown below.
Explanation:
Since, the atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. So, in order to attain stability it needs to gain 3 electrons.
Hence, when it chemically combines another nitrogen atom then as both the atoms are non-metals. So, sharing of electrons will take place.
Also, there is no difference in electronegativity of two nitrogen atoms. Hence, compound formed is non-polar covalent in nature.
Answer:
The pH is equal to 4.41
Explanation:
Since HClO is a weak acid, its dissociation in aqueous medium is:
HClO ⇄ ClO- + H+
start: 0.05 0 0
change -x +x +x
balance 0.05-x x x
As it is a weak acid it dissociates very little, in its ClO- and H + ions, so the change is negative, where x is a degree of dissociation.
the acidity constant when equilibrium is reached is equal to:
The 0.05-x fraction can be approximated to 0.05, because the ionized fraction (x) is very small, therefore we have:
clearing the x and calculating its value we have:
the pH can be calculated by:
