With what allotrope of oxygen is it isoelectronic in NO2- ?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: O₃


Explanation:


The term isoelectronic means same number of electrons.


Then you need to count the number of electrons in the given species NO₂⁻.


You have to count the number of electrons of N (nitrogen) atoms, the number of electrons of two O (oxygen) atoms, and the adjust for the negative charge of the ions.

The atomic number of N is 7, meaning that each atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons.

The atomic number of O is 8, meaning that each atom has 8 protons and 8 electrons.


The negative charge of the ion means that it has one extra electron, which is the responsible for the negative charge.


Therefore the total number of electrons of the ion NO₂⁻ is 7 + 2 (8) + 1 = 24.


Note that that 24 = 3 x 8, so 24 is the number of electrons in 3 atoms of oxygen.


The moleucle O₃ is an allotrope of the oxygen. (an allotrope is a a form of an element with different structure and physical properties in the same physical state).


Therefore, the allotrope of oxygen isoelectronic with NO₂⁻ is O₃ (ozone)

Match the mixture with the substance// I really need help on this guys (it’s a pic btw)

koban [17]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Colloid

B) Microscopic insoluble particles that are suspended throughout another substance.

Milk is a colloid. It consists of small fat globules suspended in water.

2. Emulsion

D) Two or more liquids that are not normally mixable.

Mayonnaise is an emulsion. It consists of oil, egg yolks, vinegar, and seasonings. Normally, the oil and vinegar (95 % water) do not mix. Without the egg yolk , they would quickly separate. Egg yolk contains the emulsifier, lecithin, which is attracted to both oil and water and stabilizes he mixture.

3. Solution

A) A solute that is evenly distributed within the solvent.

Sugar syrup is a solution of sugar in water.

4)Homogeneous

C) A mixture that has its components distributed evenly within the substance.

A homogeneous mixture has only one phase. For example, the sugar syrup is homogeneous, because, even with a powerful microscope, you can't see a boundary between the sugar particles and the water.

Rank the four gases (air, exhaled air, gas produced from the decomposition of H2O2, gas from decomposition of NaHCO3) in order o

ddd [48]

air = 70 % N2 exhaled air =70%N2 + some less O2 compared to only air 2H2O2=2H2O+O2 NaHCO3=2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 = No O2 gas from decomposition ssoooo NaHCO3 <exhaled air <air <H2O2

SO sorry for the long wait, hope I helped.

Fill in the Blank. 1. You want to be shielded from all three types of nuclear radiation. If you find shielding that blocks _____

Lena [83]

1. If you find shielding that blocks gamma radiation,then it will most likely also block the other two types. (as the hardest radiation)
2. When nuclear radiation enters the tube of a Geiger counter, it the excited atoms of the gas contained in the tube. (this type deposits all energy into a single atom)
3 The particles that make up protons and neutrons and are thought to be basic units of matter are quarks.
