Answer:
One of the bonds in nitrate is shorter than the other two.
Explanation:
We would firstly need to draw the Lewis structure for nitrate anion. To do this, let's follow the standard steps:
- calculate the total number of valence electrons: five from nitrogen, each oxygen contributes 6, so a total of 18 from oxygen atoms, as well as one from the negative charge, we have a total of 24 valence electrons;
- assign the central atom, usually this is the atom which is single; in this case, we have nitrogen as our central atom;
- assign single bonds to all the terminal atoms (oxygen atoms);
- assign octets to the terminal atoms and calculate the number of electrons assigned;
- the number of electrons assigned is 24, so no lone pairs are present on nitrogen;
- calculate the formal charges: each oxygen has a formal charge of -1 (formal charge is calculated subtracting the sum of lone pair electrons and bonds from the number of valence electrons of that atom); nitrogen has a formal charge of +2;
- nitrogen doesn't have an octet as well, so we'll both minimize its formal charge and make it obtain an octet if we make one double bond N=O.
Therefore, we may have 3 resonance structures, as this double bond might be formed with any of the 3 oxygen atoms.
By definition, double bonds are shorter than single ones, so one of the bonds is shorter than the other two.

proton is present in the nucleus of atom as sub atomic particle ..
proton has + charge in the it's top as p+..
The mass of 63 ml sample : 79.38 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
20 ml and 25.2 g of glycerol
Required
The mass of 63 ml sample
Solution
Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume
Density formula:
Density of glycerol :
= m : V
= 25.2 g : 20 ml
= 1.26 g/ml
Mass of 63 ml sample :
= density x volume
= 1.26 g/ml x 63 ml
= 79.38 g
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
Considering the reaction:
The molar masses of chlorine and chloric acid are:
Now, we develop the stoichiometric relationship to find the mass of chloric acid, considering the molar ratio 3:1 between chlorine and chloric acid, as follows:
Best regards.
Answer:
weathering and erosion
Explanation:
Sand forms when rocks break down from weathering and eroding over thousands and even millions of years. Rocks take time to decompose, especially quartz (silica) and feldspar. Often starting thousands of miles from the ocean, rocks slowly travel down rivers and streams, constantly breaking down along the way.
