your answer is c. two atoms of oxygen.
Here we have explain that the maximum possible electrons present in nitrogen valence shell is 8 whereas in phosphorous 12 valence electrons are present.
Although both nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) belongs to the same series there are several properties which are different between both the element. The number of electrons present in nitrogen is seven which are present in the -s and -p orbitals. The electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1s²2s²2p³. In which the outermost electrons are the valence electrons i.e. 5 valence electrons are present. The maximum orbitals are possible under the principal quantum number 2 are -s and -p orbitals. Now the maximum capacity of the p orbital to contain 6 electrons, as it is half filled in nitrogen another 3 electrons can be incorporated. Thus the maximum number of electrons can be present in nitrogen is 10 among which 8 is the valence electrons.
On the other hand there are 15 electrons in phosphorous the electronic configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p³. Now the principal quantum number 3 can have three orbitals -s, -p and -d. So another 13 electrons can be incorporated (3 in -p orbital and 10 in -d orbital) among which upto 12 electrons can be its valence electrons.
Answer:
One mole of water was produced from this reaction.
Explanation:
According to this question, the following equation is given as follows:
2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
Two (2) moles of hydrogen gas produces two (2) moles of water in this balanced chemical equation.
If 1 mole of hydrogen gas was used, then:
1 × 2/2 moles of water would be produced
1 mole of water would be produced.
When the products of a reaction are hotter than the reactants, an exothermic reaction is happening. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy to the surroundings. The energy released should be more than what is absorbed in order to maintain the reaction.
Electron affinity increases from left to right within a period. This is caused by the decrease in atomic radius. Electron affinity decreases from top to bottom within a group. This is caused by the increase in atomic radius.
