Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

  • Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atom has 16 electrons
  • the number of valence electrons is 6
  • If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
  • Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.

leonid [27]

Answer:

Balanced chemical  equation:

NO₂ + NO₃ → N₂O₅

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NO₂ + NO₃ → N₂O₅

Balanced chemical  equation:

NO₂ + NO₃ → N₂O₅

Nitrogen trioxide gas combine with nitrogen dioxide gas and form nitrogen pentoxide.

This is the simple synthesis reaction in which two substance combine to form a new substance.

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

General chemical equation:

A + B  → AB

A and B are reactants that combine to form AB product.
