The best diagram to represent N2O is the second diagram.

The Lewis diagram is used to represent the way two or more atoms bond. This is possible by using lines to represent bonds and dots to represent electrons.

In the case of the molecule N2O bonding occurs in the following way:

  • A triple bond is formed between the nitrogen atoms, which means,  in the Lewis diagram the nitrogen atoms are connected with three lines.
  • The oxygen atom connects to one of the nitrogen atoms.
  • The nitrogen atom that is not connected to the oxygen will have 2 electrons represented by dots because the number of valence electrons is 5, but three were used in the triple bond.
  • The oxygen atom will have 6 electrons represented by dots, which are equal to the number of valence electrons.

Explain why the nucleus of an atom is positively charged but the overall charge of an atom is neutral
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The nucleus is positively charged because it contains all of the protons however the charge of an atom is neutral because there is an equal amount of protons (positive) and electrons (negative) meaning the opposite charges cancel each other out therefore making the atoms overall charge neutral.

Name the 2 isomers of c7h16 that contain 2 methyl branches, each branch on a different carbon of the parent chain.
kupik [55]
There can be a lot of meanings for isomers. In this case, we are showing the structural isomers of C₇H₁₆. Based on the chemical formula, CₓH₂ₓ₊₂ it is an alkane. They only differ in the positions of methane branches in the parent carbon chain. Basing on the attached picture, the parent carbon chain is pentane for both isomers. But the methyl branches are on the 2nd & 4th, and 2nd & 3rd carbon for 2,4 - dimethylpentane and 2,3 - dimethylpentane, respectively.

What is the balance equation for copper metal and aqueous zinc nitrate
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

No reaction

Explanation:

Single-displacement reaction is the chemical reaction in which one metal which has higher negative redox potential replaces the another from it's salt solution.

Thus, Cu cannot replaces zine from its salt as it is less reactive than zince.

However, zinc can replace copper from its salt as:

Zn_{(s)}+Cu(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow Cu_{(s)}+Zn(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}
