Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure of CH_3NO is shown below.

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, CH_3NO

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electron, nitrogen has '5' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3NO = 4 + 3(1) + 5 + 6 = 18

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 6 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on O}=6-4-\frac{4}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on C}=4-0-\frac{8}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of CH_3NO is shown below.

The mentioned molecule with formula, CH₃NO where no bond is found between N and O can be depicted as formamide is shown in the attachment below.  

The formal charges = Number of valence electrons for the atom (V) - the number of electrons in lone pairs (N) - 1/2 (number of electrons in bond pairs, B)

FC = V - N - B/2

Thus, there is a need to calculate valence electrons, electrons in lone pairs, and the number of electrons in bond pairs for each atom in the mentioned molecule.  

V or valence electrons on C = 4e, on H = 1e, on N = 5e, and on O = 6e.  

N or electrons in lone pairs on C = 0e, on H = 0e, on N = 2e, and on O = 4e.  

B or number of electrons in bond pairs for C = 8e, for H = 2e, for N = 6e, and for O = 4e.  

Thus, the formal charges for each will be,  

C = 4 - 0 - (8/2) = 0

H = 1 - 0 - (2/2) = 0

N = 5 - 2 - (6/2) = 0

O = 6 - 4 - (4/2) = 0

Lewis dot structure for the given molecule is given in the attachment below:

A person's heartbeat is 91 beats per minute. If his/her heart beats 3.1e9 times in a lifetime, how long (in whole years) does th
Nat2105 [25]
During a lifetime, a heart beats 3.1 x 10^9 times and it beats 91 times in one minute.
Thus, we can use cross multiplication to determine the number of minutes in the person's lifetime as follows:
number of minutes in person's lifetime = (3.1 x 10^9) / 91 = 34.0659 x 10^6 min

One year has 365.25 days (disregarding leap). Each day has 24 hours and each hour has 60 minutes.
Therefore,
one year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 = 525960 minutes

We can now use cross multiplication to determine the number of years of a person's lifetime as follows:
number of years = (34.0659 x 10^6  x 1) / 525960 = 64.76899 years.

Which part of an object's rate of change best defines acceleration?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

The change of velocity rate it's the definition of acceleration.

While increasing or decreasing velocity, it means that an acceleration it's happening.

Using some math:

a=\frac{dv}{dt}

This can be read as "the acceleration it's equal to te variation of velocity with respect to time"
