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 statements is not true regarding acids? (3 points)
horsena [70]

Answer:

Lewis acid is a substance that donates a lone-pair of electrons.

Explanation:

What is said in the statement corresponds to a Lewis base, not an acid. For example, NH3 is a Lewis base, since it is capable of donating its pair of electrons. Trimethylborane (Me3B) is a Lewis acid, since it is capable of accepting a solitary pair.

1. Draw a wedge/dash structure for trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The structure with the ring flipped is the most stable

Explanation:

We have the  trans 1,2 - dimethylcyclohexane. With the wedge/dash structure we could not figure is this form is stable (If we do a comparison with the cis structure). But when we do a chair structure and ring flipped structure, this is easier to look.

The picture attached shows the structures, they are labeled as 1, 2 and 3, according to this problem.

In the chair structure, according to the picture below, you can see that both methyls are heading in the axial positions of the ring (One facing upward and the other downward). This is pretty stable, however, when the methyls are in those positions, the methyl position 1, can undergoes an 1,3 diaxial interactions with the hydrogens atoms (They are not drawn, but still are there), so this interaction makes this structure a little less stable that it can be.

On the other side, the ring flipped structure, we can see that both methyls are in the equatorials positions of the ring, and in these positions, it can avoid the 1,4 diaxial interactions with the hydrogens atoms, making this structure the most stable structure.

Hope this helps

What do you use to determine molar mass?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

the molar mass of any element can be determined by finding the atomic mass of the element on the periodic table for example, if the atomic mass of sulfer is 32.066 amu, then it's molar mass is 32.066 g / mol
