Which is the correct Lewis dot structure of NH2-?

Chemistry
2 answers:
zavuch27 [327]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Lewis dot structures are the structures which represent the valance electrons of an element forming a compound. The electrons are represented as the dots.

In a compound, the bonded electrons are represented as a bond and lone pair of electrons are represented as dots.

In NH_2^- compound,

Electronic configuration of Nitrogen: 1s^22s^2p^3

Valence electrons in nitrogen = 5

Electronic configuration of hydrogen: 1s^1

Valence electrons in hydrogen = 1

In the given compound, bond pairs are 2 which means number of electrons bonded are 4.

Unbonded electrons left on nitrogen will be 3 and this compound has an extra electron because of the negative charge present on the compound. Hence, total unbonded electrons present on this compound will be 4.

Therefore, the lewis dot structure will be Option D.

D. The total number of valence electrons is 8 and D represents that. D also correctly uses the octet rule for N and duet rule for H.

3) Ha do vapor aod gases differ?
Neko [114]

Your question, I guess, How do vapour and gases differ...

Answer:

1.) Vapour is the changed state of any liquid either due to boiling or evaporation

2.) Vapour are more energetic as they have absorbed the latent heat of vaporization whereas Gases are low in energy because they are already in gaseous form at room temperature.

3.) Vapour have boiling points above room temperature while gases have their boiling point below room temperature.

Which of these statements about atomic models is most likely correct?
taurus [48]

Answer:

The correct option is the second option

Explanation:

Generally, the aim of science is to understand a particular concept in the best and the most correct way possible; hence experiments are done and repeated to ensure an explanation is actually true about a concept or need modification.

The atomic models have also been a "beneficiary" of this process. The different atomic models are usually been improved upon as scientists leaned more. For example, the Dalton's atomic theory has been modified to a more correct atomic description; some of which are shown below

(1) Dalton's theory suggested that an atom is the smallest unit of a molecule. We know now from different experiments (by J. J Thompson and Rutherford) that atoms are not the smallest molecules and are made up of smaller particles known as protons, neutrons and electrons.

(2) Dalton's theory suggested that atoms of the same elements are alike in all aspects. The knowledge of isotopy shows this is not always the case. As atoms of the same elements (isotopes) have the same atomic number but different mass number; hence cannot be said to be the same in all aspects.

(3) Dalton's theory also suggested that when atoms react, they do so in fixed, simple whole number ratio. The knowledge of organic chemistry shows atoms do not always react in simple whole number ratios

There are several modifications to different postulations by scientists that have also occurred aside from this, hence the most correct answer is that "As scientists learned more, they modified the atomic model"
