In 1999, Karl Christe synthesized and characterized a salt that contained the N5+ cation, in which the five N atoms are connected in a long chain. This cation is the first all-nitrogen species to be isolated in more than 100 years. Draw all the possible Lewis structures for this ion. Calculate the formal charges on all atoms for each resonance structure and determine which is the most important.

You are given two bandpass filters The first has a 5-pole Butterworth topolgy with a 10% bandwidth. The second has a 5--pole Chebyshev topology with a 10% bandwidth. Using you knowledge of microwave filters, qualitatively analyze the performance of each and comment on which one would be most useful in providing the maximum out-of-band attenuation to a signal that is 75% of the center frequency

PLEASE ANSWER IN EXCEL WITH WORK. An investor has projected three possible scenarios for a project as follows: Pessimistic- NOI will be $200,000 the first year, and then decrease 2 percent per year over a five year holding period. The property will sell for 1.8 million after five year. Most Likely- NOI will be level at $200,000 per year for the next five years(level NOI) and the property will sell for 2 million. Optimistic- NOI will be 200,000 the first year and increase 3 percent per year over a 5 year holding period. The property will then sell for 2.2 million The asking price for the property is 2 million. The investor thinks there is about a 30 percent probability for the pessimistic scenario, a 40 percent probability for the most likely scenario, and a 30 percent probability for the optimistic scenario. a. Compute the IRR for each scenario. b. Compute the expected IRR c. Compute the variance and standard deviation of the IRRs. d. Would this project be better than one with a 12 percent expected return and a standard deviation of 4 percent?
