How many electrons does nitrogen (N) need to gain to have a stable outer electron shell

Chemistry

It need "3 electrons" to have a stable electronic configuration. 

'cause it has 5 electrons in it's outer shell & every atom needs 8 electrons. So, it requires 3 more!

Hope this helps!

Answer: 3 more electrons

Explanation: Generally elements with inert gas configuration are more stable. It is also called as Octet rule.

It tells that, elements which have electrons equal to atomic number of inert gases (2,8,10,18,36 etc) in their valency shell are exceptionally stable.

Here in our case, nitrogen has atomic number-7, 1s2 2s2 2p3

Here N has 5 electrons in valency shell , hence it needs 3 more electrons to get octet configuration.

So answer is 3 Electrons

Which of the following is expected to have zero entropy?
raketka [301]

Answer:

IV

Explanation:

Entropy is a measure of the degree of disorderliness in a particular molecule. What we are saying is that randomization plays an important role in the quest for determining a molecule at a point of disorderliness.

Now let us look at the answer choices.

N2 is a gas and is expected to have a high amount of degree of disorderliness.

SiO2 although is at the absolute zero temperature which is supposed to necessitate a low entropy amount, the fact that it is not ordered I.e amorphous confers a degree of disorderliness in its molecule.

NaCl although perfectly ordered is not at the absolute zero and hence cannot exhibit the needed degree of disorderliness.

Na is our answer choice because it meets the two criteria needed for zero entropy. Firstly, it is of considerable orderliness and hence, entropy isn’t expected in its molecule. Also, it has no disturbance in the case of temperature as it is at absolute zero.

Which direction does air circulate into low pressure zones in the northern and southern hemisphere
Yuri [45]
<span>Now consider a low pressure area on a disk as shown below.A parcel of air at point A would move toward the center of the low pressure area. That movement would take it farther away from the center of the disk and therefore it would move to the west. A parcel of air at B would move toward the center of the low pressure area which would also take it closer to the center of the spinning disk where its speed is greater than the surrounding points. It would appear to move to the east. With A moving to the west and B moving to the east the line from A to B is rotating counterclockwise.</span>

Use the given molar solubilities in pure water to calculate ksp for each compound. part a bacro4; molar solubility =1.08×10−5m
Margaret [11]
<span>When BaCrO4 dissolves, it dissociates like this: BaCrO4 (s) --> Ba2+ + CrO42-
</span>
<span>The expression for Ksp is [Ba2+] x [CrO42-]
</span>
There is a 1:1 molar ratio between the BaCrO4 that dissolves and Ba2+ and CrO42- that are in solution. This means that, when 1.08×10⁻⁵ moles per liter of BaCrO4 dissolves, it produces 1.08×10⁻⁵ mol/L of Ba2+ and 1.08×10⁻⁵ of  <span>CrO42-. So, applying the expression:
</span>
Ksp = (1.08×10⁻⁵ ) x (1.08×10⁻⁵ )
= 1.166 x 10⁻¹⁰

Why is a phenol more acidic than a regular alcohol? Group of answer choices
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a.Phenols have the ability to spread out the negative charge that forms.

Explanation:

This happens because of  the aromatic ring the phenols have. When loosing the proton, the anion formed have different resonance isomers due to the double bonds in the aromatic ring. This resonance makes the anion more stable and prevents the reaction going backwards.

On the other hand, regular alcohol doesn't have resonace and the reaction of loosing the proton goes leftward and righward: is in equilibrium.

That equilibrium decreases the acidity of the alcohol.
