"<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.

Draw the product formed when 2-butanol undergoes reaction with TsCl and Et3N. CH3C6H4SO2Cl.
Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, the reaction between 2-butanol with TsCl and Et3N is known as the tosylation of the alcohol hydroxyl group. Alcohol is being changed to tosylate by the use of tosyl chloride under the influence of a base. Tosylation of alcohol is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction. From the image attached below, we will see how the reaction between 2-butanol proceed into the product by using tosyl chloride and a base(Et3N).
