(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of an oxide of nitrogen in +5 oxidation state should be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of an oxide of the strongest oxoacid of nitrogen should be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.
(c)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of an oxide of a tetrahedral oxoanion of sulfur should be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.

- (i) The acidic character of hydrides of group 15 increases from H2O toH2Te. Why?(ii) Dioxygen is a gas while sulphur (S8) is a solid. Why?arrow_forward(A) if both sentences are true, (B) if both sentences are false, (C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and (D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. When a non-metallic oxide reacts with water, a base will be formed as the product of the reaction. When a metallic oxide like phosphorous pentoxide reacts with water, a base will be formed as the product of the reaction. 2. When water is mixed with oxides, hydrogen gas is evolved. A red to blue color change in the litmus paper indicates that the solution tested is an acid. 3. The filtrate in any filtration process is left on the surface of the filter paper, while the residue is collected at the bottom of the flask/container after passing through the filter paper. In the distillation process, the methyl violet served as a compound to acidify the water. 4. In the Winkler Titration Method, the starch solution turns colorless in the presence of free iodine in the solution to be titrated. In the Winkler…arrow_forwardIodine monochloride and elemental bromine have nearly the same molar mass and liquid density but very different boiling points.(a) What molecular property is primarily responsible for this difference in boiling point? What atomic property gives rise to it? Explain.(b) Which substance has a higher boiling point? Why?arrow_forward
