Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of the Lewis structures, which are represented by the valence electrons, we first identify that the N atom has five valence electrons and each fluorine has seven valence electrons.

In such a way, we cans say that N is the central atom due to its lower electronegativity, the molecule has 7+7+7+5=26 valence electrons and the three F-N bonds are covalent, therefore the answer is all of the above.

Regards!

What Is Oxidation Reaction

Deffense [45]

Oxidation reaction is a type of reaction wherein there is a loss of electrons. An oxidation reaction may also be a reducing agent. Example is the reaction Zn + 2H+ = Zn2+ + H2. When you separate them by their half cell reaction, you have 2H+ 1e- = H2. H here is the reducing agent and has lost 1 electron in the process.

A sample of gas has a volume of 2.4 L and a pressure of 1.2 atm. What would the pressure of the same gas sample be if the volume

algol [13]

Answer:

The correct answer option is 1.6 atm.

Explanation:

We know that there is a sample gas which has a volume of 2.4 L with a pressure 1.2 atm and we are to find the pressure of the same gas sample if its volume is reduced to 1.8 L at a constant temperature.

We will apply the Boyle's law here which states that the "pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature".

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Substituting the values in the formula to get:

$P_2=\frac{1.2*2.4}{1.8} \\\\P_2=1.6$

Therefore, the pressure of the same gas sample will be 1.6 atm if the volume is reduced to 1.8 L at a constant temperature.

What is the isotope formed during radioactive decay

vodka [1.7K]

Answer: Except for gamma decay or internal conversion from a nuclear excited state, the decay is a nuclear transmutation resulting in a daughter containing a different number of protons or neutrons (or both). When the number of protons changes, an atom of a different chemical element is created.

An ideal gas originally at 0.85 atm and 66°C was allowed to expand until its final volume, pressure, and temperature were 94 mL,

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer : The initial volume was, 71.2 mL

Explanation :

To calculate the volume when temperature and pressure has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law.

The equation follows:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$
