Answer : The resonance structure of $SCN$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : It is defined as when more than one Lewis structure can be drawn, the molecule or ion is said to have resonance.

Resonance is the concept where electrons (bonds) are delocalized over three or more atoms which cannot be depicted with one simple Lewis structure.

First we have to draw Lewis-dot structure.

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $SCN$

As we know that sulfur has '6' valence electrons, carbon has '6' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $SCN$ = 6 + 4 + 5 = 15

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 7 number of bonding electrons and 8 number of non-bonding electrons.

In SCN, carbon atom is the central atom and sulfur and nitrogen are the neighboring atoms.

The resonance structure of $SCN$ is shown below.

1. In the investigation of an unknown alcohol, there was a positive Jones test and a negative Lucas test. What deductions may be

pogonyaev

Answer:

1. When observing a positive test for the jones reagent and negative for the Lucas test, it indicates that it is in the presence of a primary alcohol.

Jones reagent behaves like a strong oxidant, where it transforms the primary alcohols into carboxylic acids and the secondary alcohols into ketones. Tertiary alcohols do not react.

With the Lucas test, tertiary alcohols react immediately producing turbidity, while secondary alcohols do so in five minutes. Primary alcohols do not react significantly with Lucas reagent at room temperature.

2. No reaction (See the attached drawing)

Is BH2F a gas or a liquid and what is the boiling point

hram777 [196]

Hey I tried but could not find your answer, but maybe you could try to calculate the average of bpts of the different elements in the compound to find the boiling point. And when you know the bpt, you can find out whether it is a liquid or gas. But after searching a lot, I found it was a solid. Good luck!

Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2N

Montano1993 [528]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Urea (CH₄N₂O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH₃) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2NH₃(aq) + CO₂(aq) → CH₄N₂O(aq) + H₂O(l) In an industrial synthesis of urea, a chemist combines 135.9 kg of ammonia with 211.4 kg of carbon dioxide and obtains 178.0 kg of urea.

Determine the limiting reactant. (express your answer as a chemical formula)

Answer: The limiting reactant is ammonia $(NH_3)$
