Answer:

Lewis structures are shown below

Explanation:

  • In Lewis structure of nitromethane, a negative charge is present on oxygen atom in nitro group.
  • Hence this oxygen atom acts as a basic center preferably.
  • Therefore conjugate acid of nitromethane should be drawn by adding a hydrogen atom with this oxygen atom.
  • Lewis structure of nitromethane as well as it's conjugate acid has been shown below including all the lone pairs and formal charges

 <span>CH3-N=O, [with one more O attached to N] <=====> CH2=N-O- + H+ ; this negative charge on O can be with the other O too, thus it gets stabilises itself.This is called the conjugate acid, as it has lost a proton. This is called Nitro- Acinitroso tautomerism .


I hope my answers has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!</span>

Which elements have the most similar chemical properties?
Mumz [18]

Answer: K and Na

Explanation:

Potassium and Sodium have a chemical symbol of K and Na respectively.

They have similar chemical properties because both

- have only one valence electron,

- form univalent positive ion when they donate their lone outermost electron as shown below

Na --> Na+ + e-

K --> K+ + e-

- are good reducing agents

- react with cold water vigorously to liberate hydrogen gas and form alkalis, so they are known as alkali metals.

- K and Na are placed in Group 1 of the periodic table.

Thus, unlike the other pairs given, K and Na, have the most similar chemical properties

What's the molar mass of Li3p
spayn [35]

Answer:

51.79g Li₃P.

Explanation:

Li has a molar mass of 6.94 g (since there are 3, you multiply it 3 times) and P has a molar mass of 30.97 g. 6.94(3) + 30.97 = 51.79g.

A scientist could use DNA as a molecular clock to do which of the following? (2 points)
ad-work [718]

Explanation:

<u></u>

<u>-to determine how long ago two species of animals shared an ancestor</u>

<u></u>

The molecular lock describes a method which utilizes mutation rates for DNA over time, to determine the divergence of two species sharing common ancestry,due to evolution. Along with  genetic drift, selective mating and natural selection, evolution may occur within populations due to spontaneous heritable changes to DNA, called mutations, over time.

Further Explanation:

During reproduction, other events, such as crossing over during mitosis and meiosis, mutations lead to increases in genetic variation. This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species. Mutations may be either beneficial or deleterious; they are maintained within cells, as they form new traits called alleles. Beneficial mutations may confer traits that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring a protective advantage- these phenotypic differences between organisms are called adaptations.

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.
