Answer:
There are no unpaired electrons.
Explanation:
There are no unpaired electrons in the Lewis symbol for a nitride ion(
).The nitride ion has a charge of -3. The negative charge on the Nitride ion indicates a gain in electrons . Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons that is the number of electrons that are in its outer shell .The total number of electrons that the nitride ion has is equal to 5+3 = 8 electrons . Electrons usually appear in pairs and obey the octet rule therefore the nitride ion has four electron pairs no unpaired electrons.
The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed. Since we have 2 g/mol of A and 3 g/mol of B then AB should be equal to the sum of their molar mass that is
2 g/mol + 3 g/mol = 5 g/mol AB
for the case of A2B3
A2 = 2 * 2 = 4 g/mol
B3 = 3 * 3 = 9 g/mol
therefore A2B3 = 13 g/mol
