help please. What type of reaction is this: barium nitrate --> barium oxide + nitrogen dioxide + oxygen

Decomposition Reaction

Explanation:

Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇒ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3 O₂(g)

Barium nitrate decomposes into the chemical species that were used to create it.

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.

the answer is b & c i believe : )
