Answer:

nitrite ion is NO2- and nitrate ion is NO3-

Explanation:

The nitrite ion has two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom while nitrate ion has three oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom. They are both univalent negative anions that form compounds with metallic cations as shown below;

Na+ + NO3- ⇒ NaNO3 (sodium nitrate)

Na+ + NO2- ⇒ NaNO2 (sodium nitrite)

Ca2+ + NO3- ⇒ Ca(NO3)2 (calcium nitrate)

Ca2+ + NO2- ⇒ Ca(NO2)2 (calcium nitrite)

You can deduce from the above ionic equations that nitrate ion is NO3- while nitrite ion is NO2-.

The electron configuration for Zn2 is [Ar] 3d10 and NOT [Ar] 4s23d8. What experimental evidence has been collected that would al
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Zn2+ is colourless

Explanation:

We know that transition metal salts are usually coloured due to the possibility of d-d transition.

This d-d transition can only occur when there are vacant d-orbitals. The electronic configuration [Ar] 4s23d8 suggests the presence of vacant d-orbitals and the possibility of the compounds of Zn2+ being coloured.

However, the absence of colours in Zn2+ compounds shows that there is no d-d transition(electronic) spectra observed for Zn2+ because the d orbitals are completely filled. This means that the correct electronic configuration of the ion is [Ar] 3d10.
