Question

If x' is the sum of localized lone pair and number of nitrogen in melamine. Find the value of 'x' ?

Answer 1

Answer:

sum of localised lone pair and number of nitrogen in melamine is (6+6)=12

Answer 2

The value of x is 12

• First of all, the chemical formula of melamine is C₃H₆N₆.

• There are 6 Nitrogen atom overall present in the molecule.

• 3 of the 6 atoms are present in the 3-Carbon Nitrogen ring.

• Each of them have 2 lone pairs in them.

• Therefore, 3 N atoms have 6 lone pairs combined.Again, the molecule has 6 N-atoms overall.

So, x = Number of Localised lonepair + No. of Nitogen atoms present

= 6+6

12
