What is the easiest way for atoms without a full valence shell to gain a full valence shell?

Most atoms do not. For those atoms that do not have a full valence shell (which usually would contain eight electrons, except for hydrogen and helium, where it would contain two), something has to change. So nature's tendency toward a full valence shell will lead to one of two things: The gain or loss of electrons.

Not most atoms. Most atoms. Something needs to change for atoms that do not have a complete valence shelled (usually containing eight electrons other than hydrogen and helium, where there are two), Thus the tendency of nature to reach an entire valence shell leads to one of two things: electron gain or loss.

The electronegativity of nitrogen (n) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (h) is 2.1. knowing this, consider how the

Goryan [66]

The electronegativity of nitrogen (N) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (H) is 2.1. As it can be seen that nitrogen (N) is more electronegative than that of hydrogen (H),

So electron pairs are attracted towards nitrogen and thus it carries a partial negative charge and hydrogen carries a partial positive charge. The image of electron distribution is attached as follows.

Thus NH₃ is a polar molecule .

4 mol NH₃ → 5 mol N₂
x mol NH₃ → 0.824 mol N₂

x=0.824*4/5=0.6592 mol

Elemental sulfur is one of the products of the gas-phase reaction of nitric acid and hydrogen sulfide. The other

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The manufacturing processes for liquefied petroleum gas are designed so that the majority, if not all, of the sulfur compounds are removed. The total sulfur level is therefore considerably lower than for other crude oil-based fuels and a maximum limit for sulfur content helps to define the product more completely. The sulfur compounds that are mainly responsible for corrosion are hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide and, sometimes, elemental sulfur. Hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans have distinctive unpleasant odors. A control of the total sulfur content, hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans ensures that the product is not corrosive or nauseating. Stipulating a satisfactory copper strip test further ensures the control of the corrosion.
