Answer:

1 pair of nonbonded electrons

3 pairs of bonded electrons

Explanation:

N has 5 electrons in its valence shell while O has 6.

Lewis structure of NO²⁻ is in the image.

N is in the middle of the structure because is the less electronegative atom. 3 electrons of this atom are forming the bonds and 2 electrons are nonbonded.

As you can see, N has 3 pairs of electrons forming 3 bonds with Oxygens and there is 1 pair of nonbonded electrons.

Answer:

one non-bonded electron pair and 3 bonded electron pair

Explanation:

NO2- has two oxygen atoms all of which might have been bound to nitrogen atom giving two electron bond pair. since it is an ion, it must have been in combined state with a metallic specie or hydrogen atom which gives it another bonded pair to make it a total of 3 bond pair therefore leaving one pair electron unbonded.

Remember that Bond pair is simply a pair of electron which is being shared mutually between two atoms forming a chemical bond or in other words, it means the electron density lies in between two atoms.

Every elements have electrons in their atoms.The electron pairs can be found in two types as bond pair and lone pair. The main difference between bond pair and lone pair is that bond pair is composed of two electrons that are in a bond whereas lone pair is composed of two electrons that are not in a bond.

Balance the equation for this reaction in an acidic solution MnO-4 to NO-3+Mn+2
marin [14]

Answer

MnO₄ + 2H⁺ +3NO₂⁻ →3NO₃⁻ + Mn²⁺ +H₂O

Explanation

This is a redox reaction (oxidation-reduction reaction) which involves the transfer of electrons between two species. i.e

Mn + 6e⁻→Mn²⁺ (reduction)

3N³⁺- 6e⁻→3Mn⁵⁺(oxidation)

Summarize the five points of Dalton’s atomic theory, and explain at least one change that occurred to the atomic theory because
Umnica [9.8K]
The postulates of Dalton's theory were:
1) Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms
2) <span>Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties
</span>3) <span>Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed</span>
4) Atoms combine in whole number ratio to form compounds
5) Chemical reactions are the rearrangement of atoms
The third postulate has been disproved by modern science, in which the atom has been split and been subdivided into smaller parts such as the neutron, proton and electron, which are further subdivided into quarks, gluons, and kaons.
The second postulate was also disproved upon the discovery of isotopes.

Guess how many water molecules self-ionize in one liter of water! a) 7 moles b) 1 mole c) 10,000,000 moles d) 0.0000001 moles​
Rudiy27

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

This seems like a weird question

Water is held together by covalent bonds. The amount of energy required to break these bonds so that water would split into it's respective ions is pretty high. The chances that any one of the molecules floating in 1L of water get enough energy to spontaneously burst into it's ions is slim to none.

So, D) seems like the most likely answer
