How many covalent bonds does nitrogen form if each of its unpaired electrons participate in one bond?
nirvana33 [79]

Nitrogen could form 3 covalent bonds if each of its unpaired electrons participates in one bond.

Nitrogen atom forms 3 bonds based on octet rule, because it has 5 valence electrons. That means it needs 3 bonds or three more electrons.

<h3>Further Explanation;</h3><h3>Chemical bond  </h3>
  • A bond is a type of force that is formed between atoms of different through the sharing or transfer of electrons.
<h3>Octet rule</h3>
  • According to the octet rule for an atom to be stable it must have maximum number of electrons in its outermost energy level. Therefore an atom with four electrons requires four more electrons to attain stability.
<h3>Types of chemical bonds.</h3><h3>Covalent bond  </h3>
  • This is a type of bond that is formed between non-metal atoms. It is formed as a result of sharing electrons between non-metal atoms involved.
  • When atoms involved contribute equal number of electrons to the bond formation, the type of bond is known as covalent bond
  • A covalent bond may be a dative covalent bond, when the shared electrons come from one atom.
<h3>Ionic bond  </h3>
  • This is a type of bond that occurs between metal ions and non-metal ions. Ionic bond occurs as a result of transfer of electrons from one metal atom to another non-metal atom.
  • After the transfer of electrons, metal atom loses electron to form a cation while the non-metal atom gains electrons to form an anion.
<h3>Other types of chemical bonds include;</h3>
  • Hydrogen bonds
  • Metallic bonds
  • Dipole-dipole interactions, etc.

What is the Net Ionic equation for this chemical reaction: FeBr2+Na2S=FeS+2NaBr​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Fe<em>(aq)</em>+S<em>(aq)</em>=FeS<em>(s)</em>

Explanation: The Sodium and Bromine are spectator ions because they don't react with anything, you can see this by writing the ionic equation like so:

1.) Molecular formula (given): FeBr2 (aq)+Na2S (aq)= FeS(s)+2NaBr(aq)

Each dissolved FeBr2 breaks up into one Fe with a charge of 2+ and two Br with a negative charge. This gives you:

Fe(aq)+ 2Br(aq)+Na2S(aq)=FeS(s)+2NaBr

2.) Now repeat what was shown with the other compounds in the given molecular formula, and pay attention to the states that each ion is in (solid, liquid, aqueous, gas) because this will give you the ionic equation, which from there you can get rid of any ions that don't change amount or state.

3.) Ionic formula: Fe(aq)+ <u>2Br(aq)</u>+<u>2 Na(aq)</u>+S (aq)=FeS(s)+<u>2 Na(aq)+2Br(aq)</u>

4.)When you've derived a total ionic equation (above), you'll  find that some ions appear on both sides of the equation in equal numbers. For example, in this case two Na cations and two Br anions appear on both sides of the total ionic equation. What does this mean? It means these ions don't participate in the chemical reaction. They're present before and after the reaction. Nothing happens to them. So those are removed and you're left with the net ionic: Fe(aq)+S(aq)=FeS(s)

Hope this helps :)

Complete the dissociation reaction and the corresponding Ka equilibrium expression for each of the following acids in water. (Ty
anastassius [24]

Answer :

(A) The dissociation reaction of HC_2H_3O_2 will be:

HC_2H_3O_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)

The equilibrium expression :

K_a=\frac{[H^+][C_2H_3O_2^-]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}

(B) The dissociation reaction of Co(H_2O)_6^{3+} will be:

Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}(aq)

The equilibrium expression :

K_a=\frac{[H^+][Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}]}{[Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}]}

(C) The dissociation reaction of CH_3NH_3^+ will be:

CH_3NH_3^+(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+CH_3NH_2(aq)

The equilibrium expression :

K_a=\frac{[H^+][CH_3NH_2]}{[CH_3NH_3^+]}

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

(A) The dissociation reaction of HC_2H_3O_2 will be:

HC_2H_3O_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)

The equilibrium expression of HC_2H_3O_2 will be:

K_a=\frac{[H^+][C_2H_3O_2^-]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}

(B) The dissociation reaction of Co(H_2O)_6^{3+} will be:

Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}(aq)

The equilibrium expression of Co(H_2O)_6^{3+} will be:

K_a=\frac{[H^+][Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}]}{[Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}]}

(C) The dissociation reaction of CH_3NH_3^+ will be:

CH_3NH_3^+(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+CH_3NH_2(aq)

The equilibrium expression of CH_3NH_3^+ will be:

K_a=\frac{[H^+][CH_3NH_2]}{[CH_3NH_3^+]}
