Answer:
HNO₂
Explanation:
An acid is a proton donor; a base is a proton acceptor.
Thus, NO₂⁻ is the base, because it accepts a proton from the water.
H₂O is the acid, because it donates a proton to the nitrite ion.
The conjugate base is what's left after the acid has given up its proton.
The conjugate acid is what's formed when the base has accepted a proton.
NO₂⁻/HNO₂ make one conjugate acid/base pair, and H₂O/OH⁻ are the other conjugate acid/base pair.
NO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HNO₂ + OH⁻
base acid conj. conj.

The energy is transferred throughout the rest of the metal by the moving electrons. Metals are described as
malleable (can be beaten into sheets) and ductile (can be pulled out into wires). This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.
D. They should try to reproduce Dr. Maxwell's research to verify his results
