In 2012, the median income of retiree aged units (with no earnings from work) age 65 and over with pensions and Social Security was more than twice the income of aged units receiving only Social Security.
EXAMPLE:: Assign a formal charge to the nitrogen in the compound shown below. 1  Nitrogen is in group five; thus, it has five valence electrons. 2  Number of non-bonding electrons: there are no non-bonding electrons, so this is zero.
Ammonia can also lose an electron to gain a positive charge, forming the ion Â·NH + 3. However, this ion is unstable, because it has an incomplete valence shell around the nitrogen atom, making it a very reactive radical ion. Due to the instability of radical ions, polyatomic and molecular ions are usually formed by gaining or losing elemental ions such as H +, rather than gaining or losing electrons.
