Unfortunately, we have not fully solved the 'nitrogen problem'. To do this, we must halve the amount of nitrogen we dump into the environment by mid-century or our ecosystems will face epidemics of toxic tides, lifeless rivers, and dead oceans. And that to do that will require, among other things, almost doubling the efficiency of nitrogen use on the world’s farms.
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:
¨molecular compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons, and ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons¨
Explanation:
Answer:
Actinides
Explanation:
They are defined as "any of the series of fifteen metallic elements from actinium (atomic number 89) to lawrencium (atomic number 103) in the periodic table. They are all radioactive, the heavier members being extremely unstable and not of natural occurrence"
Yes because the protons are the same but the neutrons change
