The electronegativity of nitrogen (N) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (H) is 2.1. As it can be seen that nitrogen (N) is more electronegative than that of hydrogen (H),
So electron pairs are attracted towards nitrogen and thus it carries a partial negative charge and hydrogen carries a partial positive charge. The image of electron distribution is attached as follows.
Thus NH₃ is a polar molecule .
Answer:
The mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.
Explanation:
An atom is made of three different particles: protons, neutrons and electrons.
Protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) each have a mass of 1 AMU. They are both found in the nucleus (centre) of the atom.
Electrons (negative charge) are considered to have a mass of 0. Their mass is not actually 0, but very close so we do not count them. They are not in the nucleus, but found in shells surrounding the atom.
To calculate the mass of an atom, we add the number of protons and the number of electrons.
m = P + N
<u>a) Answer: </u>
<em>Number of molecules in 1 mole</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
a) Whether we take any of the substance among all three of the given substances they will have the same number of molecules in 1 mole of the substance is considered and the value for this will be ![6.023 x 10^23](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6.023%20x%2010%5E23)
<u>b) Answer: </u>
<em>In the given question </em><em>mass of the substance</em><em> which is </em><em>greatest</em><em> is asked for </em><em>one mole</em><em> and we also know that </em><em>mass of one mole is given by molar mass. </em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
b) It is known that
is the molar mass for oxygen which is greater than that of hydrogen while fluorine has a molar mass of
which on comparison shows that, it is the highest amongst all three.
