Answer:
Sulfur: -1
Carbon: 0
Nitrogen: 0
Explanation:
The thiocyanate ion SCN- can have only two resonance structures, which are:
S - C ≡ N <--------> S = C = N
In the first structure, we have one single bond and one triple bond, in this case, the negative charge is located in the sulfur. This is because Sulfur have 6 electrons and those electrons are present in the atom, (see picture below), and counting the electron that is sharing with the Carbon, the total electrons that sulfur has is 7 (It has one more than usual). Carbon and nitrogen are already stable with 0 of formal charge, because carbon can only have 4 electrons which 1 is sharing with sulfur and the other 3 with the nitrogen, and nitrogen have 5 electrons, three sharing with carbon and the other two kept it for itself.
In the second structure, the negative charge of the sulfur is transfered to the nitrogen, meaning that it has 6 electrons the nitrogen (formal charge -1) and carbon and sulfur with 4 and 6 electrons respectively.
Between these two structures, the most stable is the first one basically because Sulfur is a better nucleophile than the Nitrogen, and can form stronger hydrogen bond in acid, giving more stable structure.
The answer is [Boron]
I had this answer on my Chemistry test!
Hello!
The answer is C. Hibernate during the cold winter months.
Why?
Alpine marmots are known for having a long hibernation duration which starts in October (winther) and ends in April (summer) (about 7 months). During this long period, they are able to reduce their bear beats from 200 per minute to just 30 or 38 beats, and their breaths from 60 breaths/minute to 1-3 breaths/minute, guaranteeing an extreme energy saving process.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
V = 3.1 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Molarity of solution = 0.37 M
Mass of LiF = 29.53 g
Volume of solution = ?
Solution:
Number of moles of LiF:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 29.53 g/ 25.94g/mol
Number of moles = 1.14 mol
Volume:
Molarity = number of moles of solute / Volume in L
0.37 M = 1.14 mol / V
V = 1.14 mol / 0.37 M
V = 3.1 L (M = mol/L)
