"<span>H-C=N:" is the one answer among the choices given in the question that shows the correct dot diagram. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the fourth option or option "D". The other choices can be neglected. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your help.</span>

Answer :  The correct Lewis-dot diagram is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : Lewis-dot structure shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule. Lewis-dot structure also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.  In the Lewis-dot structure, the dot represent the number of valence electrons.

The given molecule is, Hydrogen cyanide (HCN)

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

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

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 10 number of bonding electrons and 0 number of non-bonding electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is shown below.

HELP 20 POINTS <br>A photon has a wavelength of 366 nm. What is the frequency of this photon?​
den301095 [7]

Answer:

9.  8.2x10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

Wavelength λ = 366 nm

Formula: Frequency = C / λ

To find the wavelength in m,

1 nm = 1.0x10⁻⁹ m

So, 366 nm = ?

= 3.66x10⁻⁷ m

Frequency = 3.0x10⁸m.s-1 / 3.66x10⁻⁷ m

                  = 8.2x10¹⁴ s-1

2 drops of vinegar &amp; 2 drops ammonia solution or not​
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

No, this is false because we know about the law that says if you add two things together you are adding the masses together, 2 drops of vinegar and 2 drops of ammonia would equal four drops of solution not two

Hope this helps!!
