Chemistry
1 answer:
Anna71 [15]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are no unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

There are  no unpaired electrons in the Lewis symbol for a nitride ion({ N }^{ 3- }).The nitride ion has a charge of -3. The negative charge on the Nitride ion indicates a gain in electrons . Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons that is the number of electrons that are in its outer shell .The total number of electrons that the nitride ion has is equal to 5+3 = 8 electrons . Electrons usually appear in pairs and obey the octet rule therefore the nitride ion has four electron pairs no unpaired electrons.

Scintillatium has a halflife of 16 minutes. if a sample has 800 grams, find a formula for its mass after t minutes.
hichkok12 [17]
<span>Halflife is the time needed for a radioactive molecule to decay half of its current mass. If t is the time elapsed, the formula for the halflife would be:
final mass= original mass * </span>\frac{1}{2} ^{\frac{t}{halflife}
<span>
If you put the information of the problem into the formula, the equation will be:
</span>final mass= original mass * \frac{1}{2} ^{\frac{t}{halflife}
final mass= 800g * \frac{1}{2} ^{\frac{t}{16 min}
