Answer: The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1
Explanation:
According to avogadro's law, equal volumes of all gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of moles.
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number of particles.
Thus as oxygen and nitrogen are at same temperature and pressure and are in equal volume flasks , they have same number of moles and thus have same number of molecules.
The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons (ve-), so a diatomic nitrogen molecule will have twice as many, 10 valence electrons. Then, just draw electrons in pairs of 2 until you both get ride of all of them (reach 0) and you fill every atom (eight electrons each). It can be drawn either way, the important thing is that there are 3 electron pairs shared between the two atoms.
