Compared to the physical and chemical properties of the compound NO2, the compound N2O has

1. different physical properties and different chemical properties
2. different physical properties and the same chemical properties
3. the same physical properties and different chemical properties
4. the same physical properties and the same chemical properties

Asked by Rochell277

Answer (2)

Answer: option (1) different physical properties and different chemical properties.
Justification:

Any chemical compound has its unique physical and chemical properties .


2) Although formed by the same elements, N and O, NO₂ and N₂O are different compounds , so each will have its proper physical and chemical properties.
3) The union of the atoms by chemical bonds confere the properties to a matter, so being the bonds in N₂O different to the bonds in N₂O means they are different compounds.

The compounds NO₂ and N₂O have different physical properties and different chemical properties due to their unique molecular structures. NO₂ is a reddish-brown gas with strong oxidizing properties, while N₂O is a colorless gas with sweet odors and is relatively stable. Therefore, the correct answer is option (1).
