Answer:
The period number in the long form of the periodic table is equal to. ... (c) maximum principal quantum number of any element of the period.
The standard state of the elements Nitrogen and Oxygen are N2 and O2, knowing that they are diatomic elements. With that piece of information, the unbalanced equation for the formulation of NO2(g) should be as follows -
N2 + O2 ---> NO2
And if you include their states -
N2 ( g ) + O2 ( g ) ---> NO2 ( g )
To balance this chemical equation consider the number of reactants and products on other side of the equation. If you were to include a coefficient of one - half with respect to N2 on the reactant side, it would balance the reactants and products -
