How does changing the ratio of nitrogen atoms and oxygen atoms change the compounds

Explanation:

Explanation:

Compounds consist of atoms of different elements. In compound the atoms are present in fixed proportion. By changing the proportion compound will changed. For example,

Nitrogen and oxygen reacted to form the compound. By changing the proportion both will form different compound.

NO₂

Nitrogen dioxide consist of one atom of nitrogen and two atoms of oxygen. Their ration is 1 :2

NO

In nitric oxide one atom of oxygen and one atom of nitrogen are present.

Their ratio is 1 : 1.

N₂O

Nitrous oxide consist of two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen. Their ratio is

2 : 1

N₂O₄

Dinitrogen tetroxide consist of two nitrogen atoms and four oxygen atoms. Their ratio will written as 2 : 4

N₂O₅

Dinitrogen pentoxide consist of two nitrogen atoms and five oxygen atoms. Their ratio will written as 2 : 5

It can be seen that by changing the ratio of atoms compounds are changed.

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8
