zed formal charges, where appropriate.

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

Answer:
c. HF can participate in hydrogen bonding.
Explanation:
<u>The boiling points of substances often reflect the strength of the </u><u>intermolecular forces</u><u> operating among the molecules.</u>
If it takes more energy to separate molecules of HF than of the rest of the hydrogen halides because HF molecules are held together by stronger intermolecular forces, then the boiling point of HF will be higher than that of all the hydrogen halides.
A particularly strong type of intermolecular attraction is called the hydrogen bond, <em>which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar bond</em>, such as N-H, O-H, or F-H, and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.
