The answer is (3) 3. The sharing of electrons is important to help elements get 8 electrons in the outer shell to be stable. To achieve this aim, the nitrogen needs to share three pairs of electrons.

The number of pairs of electrons that are shared between nitrogen atoms in a molecule of {{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}} is \boxed{\left( 3 \right){\text{ 3}}}.

Further explanation:

Covalent Bond

It is a type of chemical bond where electrons are mutually shared between the bonded atoms. This bond is also known as a molecular bond. The compounds formed as a result of this bonding are covalent compounds.

Octet Rule

It is a thumb rule that describes the tendency of elements to bond with other elements in order to acquire eight valence electrons. As a result, elements tend to achieve stable noble gas configuration.

The atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and it has an electronic configuration of 1{s^2}2{s^2}2{p^3}. Nitrogen has five valence electrons in it and is three electrons short of the stable noble gas configuration of neon. So it can share three electrons with another nitrogen atom to complete its octet. As a result, three covalent bonds are formed between two nitrogen atoms. In other words, nitrogen atoms have a triple bond between them in   molecule (For structure, refer to the attached image).

Compute diffusion coefficients for the interdiffusion of carbon in both (a) α-iron (BCC) and (b) γ-iron (FCC) at 800.˚C. Assume
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a)1.404 E-10 m^2/s

b)1.438 E-12 m^2/s

Explanation:

Diffusion Coefficients can be calculated at different temperatures taking into account the energy of the diffusive process, remember that this process takes place in the interstices of the solid, and gets with higher temperatures due to the higher kinetic energy of the particles.

D=D_{o} *exp(-Q/RT)

a) For α-iron (BCC)

D=1.10*10^{-6} m^{2}/s *exp(-80.0kJ/mol/8.314*10^{-3}kJ/mol*k*1073.15K)= 1.404*10^{-10} m^{2}/s

b) For γ-iron (FCC)

D=2.30*10^{-5} m^{2}/s *exp(-148.0kJ/mol/8.314*10^{-3}kJ/mol*k*1073.15K)= 1.438*10^{-12} m^{2}/s

How many miles of O2 can be produced by letting 12.00 miles of KC103 react?
Marat540 [252]
 2KClO3 --> 2KClO2 + O2 
    12                               6    (moles) 
The ratio of KClO3 and O2 is 2:1. This means 2 moles of KClO3 can create 1 mole of O2. So 12 moles of KClO3 will create 6 moles of O2.
