The oxidation numbers of nitrogen in NH3, HNO3, and NO2 are, respectively: -3, -5, +4 +3, +5, +4 -3, +5, -4 -3, +5, +4
Evgesh-ka [11]
In NH3 , let oxidation number of N be x
x + (+1)3 = 0
x = -3
In HNO3 , let oxidation number of N be x
1 + x + (-2)3 = 0
x = +5
In NO2 , let oxidation number of N be x
x + (-2)2 = 0
x = +4
Thomson proposed this idea. Rutherford disproved it when he shot alpha particles at a gold sheet and they bounced back at him, proving that the alpha particles bounced off something aka the nucleus.

Adhesion describes water's attraction to other substances.
The term Adhesion refers to the tendency of particles or surfaces which are not similar to cling to one another. So basically, the adhesion occurs in water when the water is attracted or cling to other substance not similar to water.
Because its molecules can slide around each other, a liquid<span> has the ability to flow. The resistance to such flow is called the </span>viscosity<span>. For organic liquids, as the chain increases the viscosity increases as well due to the bonding that is present. Therefore, the ranking should be as follows:
</span><span>CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3
</span><span>CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3
</span><span>CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 </span>
