Which of the following chemical changes can occur with the greatest ease?
Answer»
`N to N^(-)` `N^(-) to N^(2-)` `N^(2-)to N^(2-)` `O to O^(-)`
Solution :Though adding an electron to N–2 will also MAKE it attain noble GAS configuration but adding a THIRD electron to the same atom WITHOUT adding any protons is very difficult as the incoming third electron will be HIGHLY repelled by the already present electrons. Converting O towill be easy.
