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.

3 reasons why aluminium is used in making of cooking vessels
Annette [7]

Answer is : It is a good thermal and electrical conductor. -The main point to be noted is that aluminium is a highly reactive element and still it is used for making cooking utensils. The reason is that aluminium has a very high affinity for oxygen. So, it reacts with oxygen and forms a layer of aluminium oxide on its surface.
