Answer : The correct option is, $H_3O^+$

Explanation:

The chemical formula of hydronium ion is, $H_3O^+$

It is formed by the protonation of water that means it is formed by the combination of $H^+$ ion with the water molecule. The hydronium ion is the positively charged molecule.

It is the simplest form of oxonium ion.

Or we can say that the hydronium ion is produced when an Arrhenius acid dissolves in water.

The reaction will be,

$H_2O+H^+\rightarrow H_3O^+$

Hence, the correct option is, $H_3O^+$

The answer is (1) H3O+. OH- is called hydroxyl. HN4+ is called ammonium. HCO3- is called bicarbonate. Hydronium ion is the combination of H+ ion(hydrogen ion) and H2O(water molecule).

Chlorine reacts with sodium and with hydrogen.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Sodium Chloride has Ionic bond while Hydrogen Chloride has covalent bond.

Explanation:

Na has 11 electrons (2, 8, 1) and need to give away 1 electron to be stable

Cl has 17 electrons ( 2, 8, 7) and needs 1 electron to be stable.

Na transfers 1 electron to CL to form Ionic bond.

While

Hydrogen has 1 electron and shares with Chlorine to be stable.

Covalent bond involves sharing.

Would nitrogen gas be a mineral if it has a chemical formula of n2?

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Nitrogen gas be a mineral only, if it is in organic forms.

Explanation:

Most of the forms of organic nitrogen is not be taken by plants, with the exception in the form of small organic molecules. Also plants can promptly take the nitrogen when it is in other forms like ammonia and nitrate.

The microorganisms in the soil converts the organic forms of nitrogen to mineral form when they decompose organic matters and also fresh plant residues. This type of process is called mineralisation.
