If N gains 3 electrons from other atoms, why is it written N^-3 (with a -3)?

Chemistry
1 answer:
TiliK225 [7]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Because number of electrons becomes greater than protons and atom form anion.

Explanation:

In order to understand this problem we must know about anion and cation.

Anion:

When an atom gain the electrons anion is formed. The negative sign shows that atom gain electron because number of electron are greater than protons or we can say that negative charge becomes greater than positive charge.

Cation:

When atom lose electron cation is formed. The atom thus have positive charge because number of positive charge i.e protons are increased are greater than negative charge or electron.

In given problem N gain three electrons which means negative charge becomes greater that's why the extra electron gained by atoms are written as -3.

1,4-Pentadiene has a AHhydro = -254 kJ/mol while trans-1,3-pentadiene has a AHhydra = -226 kJ/mol. Explain this difference in he
julsineya [31]

Answer:

trans-1,3-pentadiene is more stable than 1,4-pentadiene due to presence of a conjugated double bond.

Explanation:

Here, \Delta H_{hydro}=H(hydrogenated pdt.)-H(diene)

H(hydrogenated pdt.) is same for both 1,4-pentadiene and 1,3-pentadiene as they both produce pentane after hydrogenation

H(diene) depends on stability of diene.

More stable a diene, lesser will be it's H(diene) value (more neagtive).

trans-1,3-pentadiene is more stable than 1,4-pentadiene due to presence of a conjugated double bond.

Hence, \Delta H_{hydro} is higher (less negative) for trans-1,3-pentadiene

How are protists different from plants​
kotegsom [21]

Answer/ explanation :

Protist can be multicellular or unicellular organisms

Plants are all multicellular and also exhibit cellular differentiation.

Protist can be autotroph, heterotrophic or decomposer

Plants are only autotrophs because they manufacture their own food through photosynthesis

Protists are microscopic, more diverse and abundant in nature

Plants are big and complex in nature

Nuclear DNA strands in plants are of higher complexity than those of protist

Plants require oxygen for cellular respiration process unlike protist which can be aerobic and some other species facultative anaerobic

Plants only can reproduce asexually through bulbs and tubers as in yam, potatoes while protists reproduce either sexually through meiosis or asexually through simple cell division.

Heat is being transferred from the ground to the air above it by conduction. Explain how this is possible.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Conduction directly affects air temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere. During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction. At night, the ground cools and the heat flows from the warmer air directly above to the cooler ground via conduction.

Given a gas whose temperature is 418 K at a pressure of 56.0 kPa. What is the pressure of the gas if its Temperature changes to
Rainbow [258]

Answer: P₂=0.44 atm

Explanation:

For this problem, we are dealing with temperature and pressure. We will need to use Gay-Lussac's Law.

Gay-Lussac's Law: \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} } =\frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }

First, let's do some conversions. Anytime we deal with the Ideal Gas Law and the different laws, we need to make sure our temperature is in Kelvins. Since T₂ is 64°C, we must change it to K.

64+273K=337K

Now, it may be uncomfortable to use kPa instead of atm, so let's convert kPa to atm.

56.0kPa*\frac{1000Pa}{1kPa} *\frac{atm}{101325Pa} =0.55atm

Since our units are in atm and K, we can use Gay-Lussac's Law to find P₂.

P_{2} =\frac{T_{2} P_{1} }{T_{1} }

P_{2}=\frac{(337K)(0.55atm)}{418K}

P₂=0.44 atm
