Question

How many atoms of nitrogen are in the chemical formula Ni(NO3)2?

Answer 1

The correct answer is two nitrogen atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

In the molecule of Ni (NO3) 2 there are two nitrogen atoms. This is a reaction between a compound with Nickel (Ni) that has a valence number +2, and the nitrogen acid. When the hydrogen atom leaves the acid, there is a NO3- ion, this means that it is left with a negative charge. To be able to form the molecule and make it stable we will need 2 NO3- ions.

So in total there are two nitrogen atoms

Answer 2

Answer;

2 atoms of nitrogen

Explanation;

• A compound is a substance that is made up of different types of atoms from different elements. For example water is a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

• In this case; Ni(NO₃)₂, is an example of a compound. It is made up of 1 nickel atom, 2 atoms of nitrogen, and six atoms of oxygen.
