Answer:
Resonance structures for the nitrate ion exist because there are more than one Lewis Structures for this ion.
Explanation:
How many bonds in each nitrate ion?
To answer this question, start by considering how many electrons each atom need for an octet.
- Each N atom needs three electrons to achieve an octet.
- Each O atom need two electrons to achieve an octet.
The three O atoms and one N atom in each nitrate ion will need electrons in total to be stable. However, the ion carries a charge of . In other words, atoms in the ion have already acquired one extra electron. Now they need only electrons.
Atoms share electrons by forming bonds. In effect, each chemical bond (a pair of shared electrons) adds two electrons to the bonding atoms. Atoms in the nitrate ion will form chemical bonds.
However, there are only three bonding position available. One of the three positions will see a double bond while each of the other two will see a single bond. However, the double bond can be at any of the three bonding position. There are thus three possible Lewis Structures. See the sketched. Note that the three structures are interconvertible by moving only the electrons but not any atoms. Hence the name resonance structures.
Keep in mind that in reality, the pi electrons from the double bond are delocalized across all three possible bonding positions. All three N-O bonds are of equal length.
One Ba2+ and two Br- ions will be there.
Answer is 3
If a large leak of refrigerant occurs such as from a filled cylinder in an enclosed area, the correct action that should be taken when no self-contained breathing apparatus is available would be to vacate the spill area and ventilate it. Leaving the area of the spill should be done as fast as possible to avoid suffocation of the refrigerant or other health effects like burns and irritations. Also, diluting it with air or ventilating it would make it less harmful to the people affected by the spill as it would be less harmful than being in its concentrated form.
Answer: A. Cilla Is Correct.
Answer:
Option C. 760mmHg & 0°C
Explanation:
The standard pressure = 760mmHg = 1atm = 760torr = 101325N/m2
= 101325Pa
Standard temperature = 0°C =273K
From the above, the right combination is 760mmHg and 0°C
