Answer:

The nitro group is an ambident group and is capable of getting attached to carbon chain through nitrogen. as well as through oxygen (-O - N = O) atom. The compound in which the -NO2 group is linked to the alkyl or aryl group through oxygen atom are called nitrites

Answer:

It can bond through either the N or O atoms  

Explanation:

An ambident ("both teeth") group is a group that can attach to another by either of two atoms.

A nitro group can bond through either N or O.

Organic chemistry

In organic chemistry, this property gives rise to functional group isomers.

For example, we can have either nitromethane (CH₃NO₂, Fig. 1) or methyl nitrite (CH₃ONO, Fig. 2)

Inorganic chemistry

The ambidentate property of the nitro group gives rise to linkage isomers in inorganic coordination complexes.

For example, we can have either a pentachloronitroiron(III) cation (Fig. 3) or a pentachloronitritoiron(III) cation (Fig. 4)

Be sure to answer all parts.The combustion of a 40.0−g gaseous mixture of H2 and CH4 releases 3766 kJ of heat. Calculate the amo
Svetach [21]

Answer:H2=11.4g

CH4=28.6g

Explanation:The complete combustion of the two gases can be represented by a balanced reaction below

1. CH4 +2O2___CO2+2H2O

2.2H2+O2___2H2O

Combining the two we have CH4 +2H2+3O2___

CO2+4H2O

Since the mixture contains 40gof CH4 and 2, therefore 20g of CH4 and 8g of H2 combines.

Calculated from their molecular Mass i.e CH4 12+4×2)=20 and 2H2= 2×2×2=8g

Mass of CH4=20/28×40=28.6g

2H2=8/28×40=11.4g

Mila [183]

Renewable energy has the potential to have all the same applications as non-renewable. But we currently don't have the resources and potential.

So I would say the answer would be B, but this question is somewhat confusing.
