What element breaks down into yttrium-90?

Base your answer on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry. nitrogen dioxide, no2, is a dark brown gas that is used to make nitric acid and to bleach flour. nitrogen dioxide has a boiling point of 294 k at 101.3 kpa. in a rigid cylinder with a movable piston, nitrogen dioxide can be in equilibrium with colorless dinitrogen tetroxide, n2o4. this equilibrium is represented by the equation below. 2no2(g) n2o4(g) + 58kj at standard pressure, compare the strength of intermolecular forces in no2(g) to the strength of intermolecular forces in n2(g).

Which statement explains why the bonds between non metals tend to be covalent? the bonds are found to be nondirectional they have large differences in electronegativity they have small differences in electronegativity they have ions that produce an electrostatic pull
