"<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.

b. Analysis. In the analysis step, you organize and interpret your data to see if they support your hypothesis.

a. Experimentation is <em>incorrect</em> because this is the step in which you do experiments to test if your prediction is accurate.

c. Conclusion is <em>incorrect</em> because a conclusion is a decision you make to accept or reject your hypothesis.

d. Hypothesis is <em>incorrect</em> because a hypothesis is a proposed explanation for why something happens.

A researcher recorder that a chemical reaction require 2.90 gal water and raised the temperature of the reaction vessel by 57°F.
Ivan

Answer:

10.875L

Explanation:

The problem here is a simple conversion. The conversion is from gal to liters Liter is a SI unit for recording volume as stated in the problem.

Given that:

              1 gallon of water = 3.75L

              2.90 gallon will be 2.9 x 3.75; 10.875L

Lewis structure for 2O2
Mrrafil [7]

the big number describes the number ratio in a chemical equation

so for example,

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O means

2 moles of hydrogen reacts with one mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of water

and as you know, the small (subscript) number determines the number of atoms of that element in one molecule of a compound

so I believe that drawing a normal lewis structure ( O=O ) should be correct
