The right answer is D. three electrons are gained, creating N-3
Nitrogen has 5 electrons in it's valence shell and octet rule states that the valence shell must have 8 electrons. To satisfy that, Nitrogen gains 3 electrons that are negatively charged.Therefore, it gets a negative charge.
The density of Ca will be between that of Mg and Sr
Explanation:
Ca, Mg and Sr are group II elements. They are called alkali earth metals. The correct order of the elements in this group are: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Ra.
Density is an intensive property of matter which describes the amount of matter(mass) per volume of a substance.
- Density varies proportionally with mass. The higher the mass, the higher its density.
- On the periodic table, atomic mass which the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom increases down the group.
- This implies a progradation in the value of density down the group. Therefore one expects that the value of density of Ca will fall between that of Mg and Sr. It cannot be more than 2.6g/cm³ nor less than 1.74g/cm³.
