What is the covalence of nitrogen in "N"_(2)"O"_(5) ?

Answer»

Solution :Number of .O. atoms bonded to each .N. atom in `N_(2)O_(5)` is 2.5. HENCE the covalency of .N. is calculated as 5, based on oxide THEORY. But by the examination of the structure of `N_(2)O_(5)`, one can observe that .N. forms only 4 bonds.
Its covalency in NITROGEN pentoxide is 4.
