They both have the same amount. NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) has one Nitrogen atom. NO (Nitrogen Monoxide) also has one Nitrogen atom. However, nitrogen monoxide has a higher % nitrogen in the molecule both by mole % and weight %.

Why in a water molecule is the oxygen atom bigger then the nitrogen atom?

First of all, there is no nitrogen in a water molecule. A water molecule consists of one oxygen atom combined with two hydrogen atoms. Also known as H2O. However, it is also true that an oxygen atom is slightly bigger than a nitrogen atom. Oxygen has one more proton, and one more electron than nitrogen does. Neutron quantities vary, since there is more than one isotope of both oxygen and nitrogen.


Does oxygen effuse 1.07 times faster than nitrogen?

No, oxygen does not effuse 1.07 times faster than nitrogen. The effusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass, so the effusion rate of oxygen would be √(Molar mass of nitrogen / Molar mass of oxygen) ≈ √(28.02 / 32) ≈ 0.91 times faster than nitrogen.


Is nitrogen more reactive than oxygen?

No, oxygen is more reactive than nitrogen. Oxygen readily forms compounds with other elements, while nitrogen is relatively inert under most conditions.


How much of the air is nitrogen?

The air is made up, mostly, of oxygen and nitrogen.. Air is 78 % nitrogen, 21 % oxygen, about 1 % argon, and a whole raft of other gases present in even smaller amounts..


What best describes the difference between the formulas for nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide?

The formula for nitrogen monoxide is NO, where nitrogen and oxygen are bonded with a single bond. In contrast, the formula for nitrogen dioxide is NO2, where nitrogen and one oxygen atom are bonded with a double bond and another oxygen atom is bonded with a single bond.

How many Time more nitrogen than oxygen make up air?

There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).

Does oxygen have greater electronegativity than nitrogen?

Yes, oxygen has a greater electronegativity than nitrogen. Oxygen has an electronegativity value of 3.44 on the Pauling scale, while nitrogen has a value of 3.04. This means that oxygen has a stronger tendency to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond compared to nitrogen.


What gas is more abundant nitrogen or oxygen?
