Explanation:

Once solid ammonium nitrate interacts with water, the molecules of polar water intermingle with these ions and attract individual ions from the structure of the lattice, that actually will break down. E.g;-NH4NO3(s) — NH4+(aq)+ NO3-(aq) To split the ionic bonds that bind the lattice intact takes energy that is drained from the surroundings to cool the solution.

Some heat energy is produced once the ammonium and nitrate ions react with the water molecules (exothermic reaction), however this heat is far below that is needed by the H2O molecules to split the powerful ionic bonds in the solid ammonium nitrate.

Hence, we can say that the dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water is highly endothermic reaction.

How many electrons in an atom can have the following quantum
gavmur [86]

The answer for the following question is explained.

<u><em>Therefore the  number of electrons present with the values n = 5, l = 2, m = -2, s = +1/2 is</em></u><u> </u><u><em>one(1).</em></u>

Explanation:

Here;

n represents the principal quantum number

l represents the Azimuthal quantum number

m represents magnetic quantum number

s represents spin quantum number

n = 5,

l = 2,

m = -2,

s = +1/2

Here, it implies 5d orbital.

In the  5d  orbital, 10 electrons.

As the magnetic quantum number is -2, and so it can have 1 electron.

<u><em>Therefore the  number of electrons present with the values n = 5, l = 2, m = -2, s = +1/2 is</em></u><u> </u><u><em>one(1)</em></u>
