The electronegativity of nitrogen (n) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (h) is 2.1. knowing this, consider how the
electrons will be shared in ammonia (nh3). what do you predict about the polarity of ammonia?
a.each h atom has a partial positive charge
a.each h atom has a partial positive charge
1 answer:
The electronegativity of nitrogen (N) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (H) is 2.1. As it can be seen that nitrogen (N) is more electronegative than that of hydrogen (H),
So electron pairs are attracted towards nitrogen and thus it carries a partial negative charge and hydrogen carries a partial positive charge. The image of electron distribution is attached as follows.
Thus NH₃ is a polar molecule .

since the unit for the heat of fusion is kJ/mol, you're going to have to convert the grams into moles in order to cancel out the unit. After that, you can solve like normal.
