Answer:
Explanation:
According to the law of definite proportions, particles in a compound combine by a defined stoichiometric ratio. This ratio is also calculated in terms of moles.
In order to find the ratio between the particles in a compound, we need to find the molar ratio of each species.
Notice that the ratio between the number of moles of zinc to the number of moles of nitrogen is:
This means if we are given 1 zinc ion, we expect to have a total of 2 nitrogen atoms. Therefore, x = 2.

Answer:A metal can only displace another metal from a compound if it is located above it in the reactivity series. A displacement reaction happens when a more reactive metal (one that forms positive ions more easily) displaces a less reactive metal from a compound.

Answer:
The Inert Pair effect renders Pb(II) as the more stable oxidation state of lead
Explanation:
SnBr4 + PbBr2 ---> SnBr2 + PbBr4
SnBr2 + PbBr4 ---->
The Inert pair effect is mostly observed between group 15-17 in the periodic table. It leads to stability of the lower oxidation state of an element.
The reason for the Inert pair effect is that the s electrons become Inert due to poor shielding of the d and f-electrons. The Inert pair effect is a tendency of the s electrons not to participate in bonding (remain an Inert pair).
Owing to the Inert pair effect, Pb II is more stable than Pb IV
