(a) Nitrogen has relatively stable isotopes (half-life greater than 1 second) of mass numbers 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. (All except 14N and 15N are radioactive.) Calculate how many protons and neutrons are in each of these isotopes of nitrogen. (b) Write the electronic configurations of the third-row elements shown in the partial periodic table in Figure 1-6.

Question
(a) Use your molecular models to make ethane, and compare the model with the preceding structures.
(b) Make a model of propane \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}\right)\), and draw this model using dashed lines and wedges to represent bonds going back and coming forward.
Solution
The first step in solving 1 problem number 15 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) Use your molecular models to make ethane, and compare the model with the preceding structures.(b) Make a model of propane \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}\right)\), and draw this model using dashed lines and wedges to represent bonds going back and coming forward.
From the textbook chapter Structure and Bonding you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
