Chemistry

STALIN [3.7K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a) nitrogen

b) nitrogen =5

Oxygen = 6

Fluorine =7

Explanation:

Usually, if we have two or more elements in a compound, the central atom in the compound is the atom having the least value of electro negativity.

If we consider fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen; nitrogen is the least electronegative of the trio hence it should be the central atom of the triatomic molecule.

The number of valence electrons on the valence shell of each atom is shown below;

nitrogen =5

Oxygen = 6

Fluorine =7

When atoms gain electrons, they can become larger, because the addition of an electron increases electrostatic repulsion.
astra-53 [7]

Answer:True

Explanation: An anion has a larger radius than a neutral atom because it gains valence electrons. There are added electron/electron repulsions in the valence shell that expand the size of the electron cloud, which results in a larger radius for the anion.

hit the crown for me pls :)

Please help. I will post another sheet because I need help, thanks!

The last one will be It's better to use the average data instead of the single trail because the average you don't have to multiply add subtract and all that nonsense but if you use the single trail you will have to do all the adding multiplying etc.
