<span>D.) Oxygen would acquire a stable arrangement of electrons by bonding with two atoms of "Magnesium"
[ As Mg has 2 extra electrons & their size are quite similar ]
Hope this helps!</span>
When the same species undergoes both oxidation and reduction in a single redox reaction, this is referred to as a disproportionation. Therefore, divide it into two equal reactions.
NO2→NO^−3
NO2→NO
and do the usual changes
First, balance the two half reactions:
3. NO2 +H2O →NO^−3 + 2 H^+ + e−
4. NO2 +2 H^+ + 2e− → NO + H2O
Now multiply one or both half-reactions to ensure that each has the same number of electrons. Here, Eqn (3) x 2 results in each half-reaction having two electrons:
5. 2 NO2 + 2 H2O → 2 NO^−3 + 4H^+ + 2e−
Now add Eqn 4 and 5 (the electrons now cancel each other):
3NO2 + 2H^+ + 2H2O → NO + 2 NO−3 + H2O + 4H+
and cancel terms that’s common to both sides:
3NO2 + H2O → NO + 2NO^−3 + 2H+
This is the net ionic equation describing the oxidation of NO2 to NO3 in basic solution.

Scratching causes cracks and crevices on the surface of the flask (though microscopically). These will act as favorable sites for nucleation, which leads to the formation of crystals.
The answers would be the mass before a reaction is the same as the mass after a reaction which basically means mass is conserved
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
A triple covalent bond because each atom requires three more electrons to complete its octet.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- A triple covalent bond is a covalent bond formed by atoms that share three pairs of electrons.
- For example;<em><u> in a diatomic molecule such a nitrogen; A nitrogen atom has five valence electrons, which can be shown as one pair and three single electrons. </u></em>When combining with another nitrogen atom to form a diatomic molecule, the three single electrons on each atom combine to form three shared pairs of electrons.
