<span>The zero reference position should be the position the system has the least potential energy. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Gravity's ability to do work (potential energy) reaches zero when it hits the ground and stops falling, hence the ground is the most common zero reference position.</span>

Jenny is studying a compound that has two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom. Which statement describes the subscripts she will
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

She will use one 2 as a subscript.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is a chemical element with the symbol "N" and has an atomic number of 7. Thus, it is found in group (5) of the periodic table and as such it has 5 electrons in its outermost shell. Therefore, nitrogen has two (5) valence electrons.

On the other hand, oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and with the symbol "O."

When nitrogen and oxygen react chemically, they produce a compound known as nitrogen dioxide NO_{2}

In this scenario, Jenny is studying a compound that has two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom. Therefore, the statement which describes the subscripts she will use to write the chemical formula is, she will use one 2 as a subscript.

N + O_{2} ------>  NO_{2}

Where: 2 represents the subscript of oxygen.
