The right answer is D. three electrons are gained, creating N-3
Nitrogen has 5 electrons in it's valence shell and octet rule states that the valence shell must have 8 electrons. To satisfy that, Nitrogen gains 3 electrons that are negatively charged.Therefore, it gets a negative charge.
Answer:
For instance equation C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced, but PhC2H5 + O2 = PhOH + CO2 + H2O will; Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required. If you do not know what products are enter reagents only and click 'Balance'. In many cases a complete equation will be suggested.
Explanation:
Hydrogen because it only has one electron
