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

PLEASE HELP Determine the number of neutrons for the given isotopes:

zepelin [54]

<span>Helium = 1
Carbon = 8
Nitrogen = 8
Strontium = 52
Tellurium = 71

If you look on a periodic table, on each element there is a number on the top left. This represents the number of protons in an atom. Protons have a mass of 1 (in relative to Carbon-13)

If we take nitrogen-15 for example; The number 15 tells you that the isotope has a mass of 15. Now if you look on the periodic table, Nitrogen has a proton number of 7. Only protons and neutrons have a mass, electrons are considered to be negligable. Therefore the number of neutrons Nitrogen-15 contains is 15 - 7 = 8 </span>

If a solution containing A+ ions and a solution containing B- ions have just been mixed and [A+][B-] is greater than Ksp of AB,

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the solution of AB , they are split to give ions as follows

AB ⇄ A⁺ + B⁻

Product of concentration of A⁺ and B⁻ in saturated solution of AB is constant .

This is called Ksp

Ksp = [A⁺] [ B⁻]

If product of concentration of A⁺ and B⁻ exceeds Ksp , the equilibrium shifts to the left side and excess ions come out of solution in the form of precipitate. So second option is the answer.

Question: If red dye is added to cold water and blue dye is added to warm water, which dye will

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Blue dye spreads out quicker

Explanation:

This is because the dye gets spread out by water molecules. Warm water has faster moving water molecules than cold water.
