AI Thread Summary
Nitrogen difluoride (N2F2) exhibits geometric isomerism due to its molecular structure, which allows for cis-trans configurations. In the cis configuration, both nitrogen atoms are positioned on the same level with their fluorine atoms oriented downwards. Conversely, the trans configuration features a more stable arrangement where the nitrogen atoms are on opposite sides. This structural flexibility is key to understanding the isomerism in N2F2.

Hello, I have found this picture: http://www.webelements.com/webelements/compounds/media/N/F4N2-10036472.jpg
As you see from the structure, a cis-trans isomerism may be present; two nitrogens may be on the same level with their fluorines downwards (this is cis), or more stable one, trans configuration (as shown in the picture).
 
Thanks a lot for your help!

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'

I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...

I tracks prices of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir and Ru. Of the 5 metals, rhodium (Rh) is the most expensive. A year ago, Rh and Ir...
