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.
A compound is a substance that consists of 2 or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion.
Compounds can be broken down ijt0 simple substances by chemical means but, elements cannot.
Answer:
A.Because Earth's atmosphere causes most objects to burn up before they reach the surface.
Explanation:
The Earth's surface is rarely impacted by large objects that enters because the atmosphere causes most of the objects to burn up before they reach the surface.
There are different layers of the earth atmosphere which carries various amount of energy and energetic particles.
- When a massive and a high solar object or dust or rocks are directed towards the earth, they are either deflected or burnt upon their passage through the atmosphere.
- These energetic particles have ionizing properties and causes the solar particles to burn up.
- This way the earth's surface is shielded from any impact of any sort.
