When you see a long dash joining two elements in the structural formula of a chemical molecule you can assume that the chemical bonds in the compound are simple bonds.
In the representation of chemical molecules long dashes are used to represent simple bonds since these bonds are longer than double and triple bonds, which are represented by = and ≡ respectively.
Because the inner course is a totally different thing then the outer course
Answer:
2Ag (s) + 2HNO3 (aq) → 2AgNO3 (aq) + H2(g)
Explanation:
Usually, metals displace hydrogen from dilute acids to form the corresponding salt of the metal and hydrogen. This in turn depends on the position of the metal in the electrochemical series. Metals below hydrogen in the electrochemical series cannot spontaneously displace it from dilute acids. Silver is below hydrogen in the electrochemical series, hence it cannot spontaneously displace hydrogen from dilute nitric acid as shown in the answer.
