Chemistry

Answer :

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

Explanation :

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, HCN

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in HCN = 1 + 4 + 5 = 10

According to Lewis-dot structure we conclude that, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

When harmful bacteria invade a wound, the skin around the wound turns red. This is known as:
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Inflammation

Explanation:

Inflammation is the response to a cut. The blood vessels expand when you get cut to allow white blood cells to flock to the wound site. These attack any bacteria that got past the clot. If you mean <u>excess</u> bacteria, then that would be an infection.

Answer:

pH=1.6

Explanation:

Recall that pH= -log [H+]

Plug the 2.5 x 10^-2 into [H+].

-log (2.5 x 10^2)

=1.6

Hoped this helped!
