Answer: The given compound is a covalent compound.

Explanation:

Covalent compound is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound. These are usually formed when two non-metals react.

An ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom. These are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

We are given:

A chemical compound having chemical name as nitrogen triiodide.

This compound is formed by the combination of nitrogen and iodine atoms. Both these elements are non-metals and thus form covalent compound.

The chemical formula for the given compound is $NI_3$

Hence, the given compound is a covalent compound.

Nitrogen triiodide is the inorganic compound with the formula NI3. It is an extremely sensitive contact explosive: small quantities explode with a loud, sharp snap when touched even lightly, releasing a purple cloud of iodine vapor; it can even be detonated by alpha radiation. NI3 has a complex structural chemistry that is difficult to study because of the instability of the derivatives.

Answer : The correct option is, (B) bent, 2, and $sp^3$

Explanation :

Formula used :

$\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

The given molecule is, $NH_2^-$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [5+2+1]=4$

Number of bond pair = 2

Number of lone pair = 2

The total number of electron pair are 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

But as there are 2 atoms around the central oxygen atom, the third and fourth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent or angular.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) bent, 2, and $sp^3$

Answer:

A. 11

Explanation:

atoms are made of three types of sub atomic particles - protons, neutrons and electrons

Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral.

Protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus and electrons orbit around the nucleus in energy shells.

Atoms make up an element and atoms are neutral charged with an equal number of protons and electrons. Neutral atom of sodium would therefore have an equal number of positive charges and negative charges.

Since Na has 11 protons, for it to be neutral it would have 11 electrons
