The picture of Au₃N is attached below.
The first part of the picture shows the formation of Au and N ions.
Formation of Au⁺¹ :
As Gold has one valence electron in 6s¹ therefore, it will loose it to form Au⁺¹. In case of Au₃N three atoms of Au looses three electrons to form three Au⁺¹ ions.
Formation of N⁻³ :
As Nitrogen has 5 valence elctrions therefore, it will gain three electrons that lost by Au to form Nitrite (i.e. N⁻³)
Formation of Au₃N:
Three cations of Au⁺ combines with one anion of N⁻³ to form a neutral ionic compound i.e. Au₃N as shown in second part of the picture.
Answer:
This question is incomplete, the remaining part of the question is:
What is the control group, independent variable and dependent variable?
Control group: Plants placed in 80 degree rooms
Independent variable: Change in temperature
Dependent variable: Change in color of leaves
Explanation:
The independent variable in a scientific experiment is the variable that the experimenter controls or manipulates in order to bring about a change in the dependent variable. In this experiment, the variable manipulated by Justin B is the TEMPERATURE CHANGE.
On the other hand, a variable is said to be dependent if it is the variable that responds to a change made to the independent variable or rather it is the outcome. In this experiment, Justin B is trying to see the outcome on the color change in leaves when exposed to a low temperature, hence, COLOR CHANGE IN LEAVES is the dependent variable.
Control group of an experiment is the group that receives no experimental treatment. It is the group the experimenter considers normal and hence is comparing with his experimental group. In this experiment, Justin B believes the leaves change color in a low temperature, hence, he placed some plants in a lower temperature (60 degree) in order to compare them with when the plants are placed in a higher temperature (80 degree). As far as this experiment is concerned, the plants placed in 80 degrees temperature are believed by Justin B not to undergo color change, hence, they are the CONTROL GROUP while the group he placed in 60 degrees temperature are what he is interested in, making them the EXPERIMENTAL GROUP
It's B ------------------------------------
