Answer:
5 electrons
Explanation:
Valence electrons are electrons located in the outermost energy shell, so you want to count the number of electrons in the last energy shell.
You can divide the configuration into 1s2 / 2s22p6 / 3s23p3 to see the energy shells in this atom. There are 3 shells occupied by the atom's electrons, so you need to count the electrons in the third shell as those are its valence electrons.
2 + 3 = 5 valence electrons total
Note: you don't count the 3 before the letter because that only indicates the shell level, not the number of electrons. Count only the exponents.
The state in which the forward reaction rate and the reverse reaction rate are equal. Th concentration of chemicals don’t change
Answer:
All chemical reactions involve energy. Energy is used to break bonds in reactants, and energy is released when new bonds form in products. Endothermic reactions absorb energy, and exothermic reactions release energy. The law of conservation of energy states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.
There are 2 covalent bonds between the Nitrogen and Oxygen, and 1 between the Nitrogen and Chlorine.
It should be 3.
