Which is more likely HON or HNO

NO- (isoelectronic or same as O2) is hard base

H+ is hard acid

bonding depends which pi* has more electron density and calc shows more on N...hence HNO is more likely (bent) molecule

whatever

increased stability in the completion of fluorine's outer shell.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
