Why is the fulminate ion so unstable?
After writing the three resonance structures of the fulminate ion, you'll notice that In each resonance structure, the least electronegative element, carbon, has a negative formal charge, making fulminate more reactive (less stable).
What is the charge of nitrogen-15?
There is no charge. Nitrogen-15 is an isotope, which refers to the number of neutrons. Neutrons do not have a charge.
Do nitrogen protons have a charge?
All protons -- whether in nitrogen or elsewhere -- are identical, and all have a positive charge.
What type of charge do an isotope of nitrogen have?
Neutral isotopes of nitrogen have no charge. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What is the oxidation number of N in NH4MnO4?
The ammonium ion has net charge of +1. The central nitrogen atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms which have oxidation status +1. The oxidation number of nitrogen is -3 after balancing the charges.

What is the charge of an atom and why does it have that charge?
nitrogen
What is the Lewis structure of CNS-?
S=C=N with two lone pairs on the N and two on the S. The formal charge lies on the nitrogen, giving the overall molecule a charge of -1
How do isotopes of nitrogen differ from nitrogen ions?
Nitrogen isotopes do not have a charge.Ions have a charge.
What type of charge do an isotope of nitrogen have?
Neutral isotopes of nitrogen have no charge. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Do nitrogen protons have a charge?
All protons -- whether in nitrogen or elsewhere -- are identical, and all have a positive charge.
Charge on nitrogen monoxide?
Zero, compounds do not have charge.
What is the charge in methyl?
nitrogen
What is the formal charge on nitrogen element in a nitrate radical?
+ 5 is the formal charge on nitrogen element on a nitrate species.
What charge would nitrogen have if it gained 3 electrons?
Nitrogen would have a neutral charge and eight valence electrons.
What is the oxidation number of N in NH4MnO4?
The ammonium ion has net charge of +1. The central nitrogen atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms which have oxidation status +1. The oxidation number of nitrogen is -3 after balancing the charges.
