Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry - Result Question 26

####25. If NA is Avogadro’s number then number of valence electrons in 4.2g of nitride ions (N3) is

(a) 2.4NA

(b) 4.2NA

(c) 1.6NA

(d) 3.2NA

[1994]

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (a) No of moles of nitride ion

=4.214=0.3mol=0.3×NA nitride ions.

Valence electrons =8×0.3NA=2.4NA

Nitride ion has seven protons in the nucleus and ten electrons surrounding the nucleus. Therefore total no. of electrons is 10 . Number of valence electrons is (5+3)=8.
