Why is nitrogen fixation such an important step in the nitrogen cycle?

Chemistry

The nitrogen fixation step is very necessary since it is allows nitrogen to be used by living organism. In this step nitrogen in the atmosphere is being converted into ammonia or other nitrogen compound that can be used by organisms.

The electronegativity of the element affects all of the following except a- type of bond it forms with other elements b- the boi
seraphim [82]

The electronegativity of the element affects the ability of its compounds to dissolve in different solvents.

<h3>What is the meaning of electronegativity?</h3>

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons to itself.

Polar bonds have a positive and negative side to them, and therefore can attract water dipoles and dissolve in water.

If the polarities of the solvent and solute match (both are polar or both are nonpolar), then the solute will probably dissolve.

If the polarities of the solvent and solute are different (one is polar, one is nonpolar), the solute probably won't dissolve.

Hence, option D is correct.

Atoms are attracted to each other because____
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Opposite charges attract therefore the electrons of one atom would be attracted by the nucleus (which contains protons). This heavily relies on a property called electronegativity. Which deals with the level of attraction a nucleus (the protons in the nucleus) have for electrons of other atoms.

A gas sample is found to contain 39.10% carbon, 7.67% hydrogen, 26.11% oxygen, 16.82% phosphorus, and 10.30% fluorine. If the mo
Doss [256]

Answer:

C6H14O3F

Explanation:

The first step is to divide each compound by its molecular weight

Carbon

= 39.10/12

= 3.258

Hydrogen

= 7.67/1

= 7.67

Oxygen

= 26.11/16

= 1.63

Phosphorous

= 16.82/31

= 0.542

Flourine

= 10.30/19

= 0.542

The next step is to divide by the lowes value

3.258/0.542

= 6 mol of C

7.67/0.542

= 14 mol of H

1.63/0.542

= 3 mol of O

0.542/0.542

= 1 mol of P

0.542/0.542

= 1 mol of F

Hence the molecular formula is C6H14O3F

Why can't methanol, CH3OH, be used as a solvent for sodium amide, NaNH2? Sodium amide is nonpolar and methanol is polar. Sodium
Elodia [21]

Answer: sodium amide undergoes an acid -base reaction

Explanation:

sodium amide is a ionic compound and basically exists as sodium cation and amide anion. Amide anion is highly basic in nature and hence as soon as  there is amide anion generated in the solution , Due to its very pronounced acidity it very quickly abstracts the slightly acidic proton available on methanol.

This leads to formation of ammonia and sodium methoxide.

Hence sodium amide reacts with methanol and abstracts its only acidic proton and form ammonia and sodium Methoxide.

Hence the 3rd statement is a corrects statement.

So we cannot use methanol for sodium amide because sodium amide itself would react with methanol and the inherent molecular natur of sodium amide would then change.

The 1st and 2nd statements both are incorrect because both the compounds methanol as well as sodium amide have dipole moments and hence are polar molecules.

The 4th statement is also incorrect as both the molecules have dipole moment and hence there would be ion-dipole forces operating between them.

The following reaction occurs:

NaNH₂+CH₃OH→NH₃+CH₃ONa
