<span>The best reason I can think of for why we believe that air is a mixture is that freezing air slowly yields different liquids at different temperatures. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen. They also freeze at different temperatures. If air were only 1 compound, then air in its entirety would have a single boiling point and a single freezing point. </span>
<u>Answer:</u>
Nitrogen gas be a mineral only, if it is in organic forms.
<u>Explanation:</u>
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.
Answer: There are
five <span>bonding pairs of electrons in Methanol.
Explanation: Those electron pairs which are being shared between two atoms in molecule are called as
bonding pair electrons. While, those electron pairs which are not involved in bond formation and are not shared between two atoms are called as
Non-Bonding electron pairs.
In molecule of
Methanol as shown below, it can be seen that carbon atom is forming four bonds with three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom by sharing four electron pairs and oxygen is forming two bonds, one with carbon atom and one with hydrogen atom. There are two lone pair of electrons present on oxygen atom which are not taking part in and formation.</span>
