The two resonating structures of Nitrous Acid are shown below. Lone pair of electrons, single and multiple bonds and non zero formal charges (red color) are also specified.
Among these two structures the structure on the left lacking formal charge is the most stable form. The instability of second resonating structure is due to the fact that it contains two formal charges (the lesser the number of formal charges the greater is the stability). Secondly in this structure one oxygen atom is having +1 formal charge. Oxygen being more electronegative feel hostile towards positive formal charge.
Answer:
The eight protons in oxygen atom's nucleus will exert more force than nitrogen's seven electrons. Also, oxygen has same number of shells as nitrogen. Thus electrons in oxygen atom will be closer to nucleus than in the case of nitrogen. When electrons are closer it means atomic radius is smaller.
Hope this helps! :)
The reaction releases heat and gives net energy to its surroundings. The energy needed to initiate the reaction is less than the energy released.
Answer:
100g/cm^3
Explanation:
density=mass/volume
convert mass in kg to g
1kg=1000g
5kg=5000g
therefore, density=5000g/50cm^3
=100g/cm^3
Answer:
The correct options are: 1. Ca²⁺ and 4. Mg²⁺
Explanation:
Hard water is the water with high mineral content. Temporary hardness and permanent hardness are the two types of hardness of water.
Temporary hardness is due to the presence of dissolved bicarbonate minerals. These minerals present in the water, dissociate to give multivalent calcium cations (Ca²⁺) and magnesium cations (Mg²⁺).
<u>Therefore, the presence of metal cations such as calcium cations (Ca²⁺) and magnesium cations (Mg²⁺) makes the water hard.</u>
