Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure of the following molecules are 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'.

(1) The given molecule is, NH_3

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron, nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in NH_3 = 5 + 3(1)  = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

(2) The given molecule is, SO_2

As we know that sulfur and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in SO_2 = 6 + 2(6)  = 18

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 10 number of non-bonding electrons.

(3) The given molecule is, CH_3OH

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

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3OH = 4 + 4(1) + 6  = 14

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 10 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

(4) The given molecule is, HNO_2

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

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in HNO_2 = 1 + 5 + 2(6) = 18

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 10 number of non-bonding electrons.

(5) The given molecule is, N_2

As we know that nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in N_2 = 2(5) = 10

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

(6) The given molecule is, CH_2O

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

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_2O = 4 + 2(1) + 6  = 12

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

Explain why a balloon filled with O2 at room temperature collapses when cooled in liquid nitrogen where as balloon filled with H
Yuri [45]
When cooled by liquid nitrogen, the balloon shrinks (not as much as the air-filled balloon) and it sinks down on the table. When heating up, the balloon slowly rises and flies up in the air again. Explanation 1: The volume of the balloon decreases by the low temperature, because the gas inside is cooled down.

Compound A and compound B are constitutional isomers with molecular formula C3H7Cl. When compound A is treated with sodium metho
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Compound A and compound B are constitutional isomers with molecular formula C3H7Cl.

When compound A is treated with sodium methoxide, a substitution reaction predominates. When compound B is treated with sodium methoxide, an elimination reaction predominates.

Explanation:

Constitutional isomers are the one which differs in the structural formula.

When compound A is treated with sodium methoxide, a substitution reaction predominates.

That means sodium methoxide is a strong base and a strong nucleophile.

But when it reacts with primary alkyl halides it forms a substitution product and when it reacts with secondary alkyl halide it forms mostly elimination product.

The reaction and the structures of A and B are shown below:

Melatonin has the chemical formula C13H16N2O2. Less than 10 milligrams(0.01g) Convert the melatonin to moles
oee [108]

Answer: There are 0.000043 moles of melatonin.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

given mass = 10 mg = 0.01 g

molar mass of C_{13}H_{16}N_2O_2 = 232.28 g

{\text {moles of melatonin}}=\frac{0.01g}{232.28g/mol}=0.000043moles

Thus there are 0.000043 moles of melatonin

Using the periodic table, how would you find elements with chemical properties similar to helium?
rosijanka [135]
<span>The state of the helium in its natural form is gaseous and is a chemical element of colorless aspect and belongs to the group of noble gases. The atomic number of helium is 2. The chemical symbol of helium is He. For the following we focus on those elements and relate it with similar chemical properties. Then we find that; Neon, Hydrogen, Boron and Carbon are related to helium, either by proximity in their atomic number or period or by their group.</span>
