How many electrons are depicted in the electron dot diagram of an electrically neutral nitrogen atom? a. two b. six c. eight d. five

Answer is D - five.

Explanation;

- Electron dot diagrams show the valence electrons around the element by using dots.

- Valence electrons are the electrons which are in outermost shell of the atom.

-The atomic number of the N atom is 7.

      Atomic number = number of protons = 7

  If the atom is neutral,

      number of protons = number of electrons.

  Hence, N atom has 7 electrons.

- The electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³.

Hence, N atom has 2 + 3 = 5 valence electrons. So, five electrons are represented in electron dot diagram of N.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
