2 electrons in the n=1 orbit 6 electrons in its n=2 orbit 8 protons in nucleus 8 electrons 6 electrons 4 electrons shared Covalent bond exist between the two oxygen atoms
The n = 1 means the first shell of an atom whereas n = 2 means the second shell of an atom and so on.
As every atom consists of three sub-atomic particles which are protons, neutrons and electrons.
Protons and neutrons reside inside the nucleus of an atom and electrons revolve outside the nucleus of the atom.
A covalent bond is defined as the bond formed by sharing of electrons between the two combining atoms.
Therefore, the given questions are answered as follows.
There are 2 electrons in the n = 1 orbit of each atom.
Each atom has 8 electrons in its n = 2 orbit, after the sharing of electrons take place between both the oxygen atoms.
Each atom has 8 protons in its nucleus.
Each atom has 8 total electrons.
There are 6 electrons in oxygen's outer shell before sharing electrons.
There are 4 electrons being shared between the two atoms.
Double bonds exist between the two oxygen atoms. This is because sharing of two electrons is taking place. Hence, a double covalent bond exists when two oxygen atoms when they chemically combine together.
This is because the products on the right of the reaction occupy more space. One (1) mole of NO and another mole of NO2 will occupy more space than the one (1) mole of N2O3. Therefore decreasing the concentration of N2O3 will shift the reaction to the right because the products will have more space to occupy – hence favoring equilibrium.
The atom with the one valence electron will lose its one, because it's a metal and metals will lose electrons to become stable. The nonmetal (with 7 valence electrons) will gain that electron, therefore creating a stable octet for the nonmetal, making the compound stable.
