First you have a knowledge of bond order which is
 B.O=(no. of electrons in bonding orbital - no. of electrons in non-bonding orbital)÷2  
Note:
bond strength is directly proportional to bond order.
For oxygen:
B.O=(6-2)/2= 2; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from non-bonding orbital)
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3 (As B.O increased bond strength increased)
For Nitrogen:
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from bonding orbital)
B.O=(4-0)/2= 2 (As B.O decreased bond strength decreased)

AURORKA [14]

Answer:  Hmmmm.   Let's see...

Explanation:  A pebble has the same density and a boulder when it rolls down a hill.  The pebble will most-likely roll down very fast which can make it dense.

What is the result in the double displacement reaction of hydrochloric acid and
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Lithium chloride (LiCl), carbon dioxide, and water

Explanation:

Li₂CO₃ + HCl ⇒ LiCl + CO₂ + H₂O

When lithium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, lithium chloride, water, and bubbles of carbon dioxide gas are given off. This is the result of a double displacement reaction followed by a decomposition reaction.

Hope that helps.

What kind of change happens when liqiud becomes solid?​
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

freezing

Explanation:

The process in which a liquid changes to a solid is called freezing. The temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid is its freezing point. The freezing point of water is 0°C (32°F). Other types of matter may have higher or lower freezing points.

How was the speed of light determined and what is it’s value?
zheka24 [161]

The speed of light in a vacuum stands at “exactly 299,792,458 metres per second“. The reason today we can put an exact figure on it is because the speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant that has been measured with lasers; and when an experiment involves lasers, it's hard to argue with the results.
