the law of thermodyanamic is the restatement of the law of conservation of energy
The fomula is NH4 (1+)
There are only two elements N and H.
As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.
N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.
You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.
In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.
Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.
That implies that 4* (1+) + x = 1+
=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-
Answer: the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.
Answer:
1
Explanation:
For non metals to attain a noble gas configuration, they gain the number of electrons needed to attain the noble gas configuration of the noble gas at the end of their periods. This means that these non metals would only take up the configuration of the last element on their periods which of course is always a noble gas.
The last element on the hydrogen period or more conservatively the only other element on the hydrogen period is helium, with an atomic number of 2. The atomic number is the number of protons in he nucleus of an atom. For an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons.
Hence we can deduce that helium has 2 electrons while hydrogen has one electron. Thus for it to attain the configuration of helium, it just needs to gain one more electron
The number of neutrons is variable, resulting in isotopes, which are different forms of the same atom that vary only in the number of neutrons they possess. Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element's mass number.
