Please help! :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the correct answer D?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

in answer D how many electrons there can you tell

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

answer quick dude

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

no all superscript you add and tell me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

ok good now how many electrons are there in Nitrogen atom ,its atomic no is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

OK good Now what is charge(supecrscript ) on N now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3-

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

ok leave Each electron is having -1 charge right then -3 charge mean how many eletrons ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

no hey -1 charge = 1 electron -3 charge means= ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

N-3 is nothing but electrons from N + electrons from _ charge now you tell how many toal electrons are there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

no N has 7 electrons and _3 charge on it mean 3 electrons totally 10 electrons right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

then D is right answer right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THAAAAAANK YOU
