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.

Answer:

Protons:

Positively charged particle

The number of these is the atomic number

All atoms of a given element have the same number of these

Neutrons:

Neutral particles

Isotopes of a given element differ in the number of these

The mass number is the number of these added to the number of protons

Explanation:

Protons (positively charged), neutrons (neutral) and electrons (negatively charged) are smaller than an atom and they are the main subatomic particles. The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, and the electrons are in the periphery at unknown pathways.

The Atomic number (Z) indicates the number of protons ( $P^{+}$ ) in the nucleus. Every atom of an element have the same atomic number, thus the same number of protons.

The mass number (A) is the sum of the number of protons ( $P^{+}$ ) and neutrons (N) that are present in the nucleus: A= Z + N

Isotopes are atoms of the same element which nucleus have the same atomic number (Z), and different mass number (A), it means the same number of protons ( $P^{+}$ ) and a different number of neutrons (N). For example, the oxygen in its natural state is a mixture of isotopes:

99.8% atoms with A= 16, Z=8, and N=8

0.037% atoms with A=17, Z=8, and N=9

0.204% atoms with A=18, Z=8, and N=10

Consider the following reaction: NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2 How many mol of CO2 would be produced from the complete

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

0.208mole of CO2

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the number of mole of HC3H3O2 present.

Molarity of HC3H3O2 = 0.833 mol/L

Volume = 25 mL = 25/100 = 0.25L

Mole =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole = 0.833 x 0.25

Mole of HC3H3O2 = 0.208mole

Now, we can easily find the number of mole of CO2 produce by doing the following:

NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

From the equation,

1mole of HC2H3O2 produced 1 mole of CO2.

Therefore, 0.208mole of HC2H3O2 will also produce 0.208mole of CO2

vladimir1956 [14]

Computers don’t have the ability to see as much as we do and in Construction sites this can be very dangerous if your driverless car has not been properly updated in an area where there’s a lot of construction you can we put into harms way. The lanes may have changed and they will not have the data to be able to recognize this in time and you could get into a serious car crash.
