Answer:

One carbon atom and the nitrogen atom have nonzero formal charges.

Explanation:

The compound Acetonitrile has sixteen valence electrons as is easily San from its structure. It contains a carbon nitrogen triple bond with a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. All atoms satisfy the octet rule and there is no hyper valent atom in the molecule.

The formal charge an carbon and nitrogen is calculated as follows;

No. of valence electron on atom - [non bonded electrons + no. of bonds]

Therefore, for carbon and nitrogen, we have;

formal charge on carbon = 4 - (0 + 4) = 0

formal charge on nitrogen = 5 - (2 + 3) = 0

Hence carbon and nitrogen both possess zero formal charges.

Explanation:

1.

Given parameters:

Frequency of the radiation  = 8.4 x 10¹⁴Hz

Unknown:

Energy of the wave  = ?

Solution:

The energy of a wave is given by the expression below;

    E  = hf

E is the energy

h is the Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴m²kg/s

f is the frequency

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

 E  =  6.63 x 10⁻³⁴m²kg/s x 8.4 x 10¹⁴Hz

 E  = 5.57 x 10¹ x 10⁻²⁰J

 E  = 5.57 x 10⁻¹⁹J

   

2.

Given parameters:

Wavelength = 2.13 x 10⁻¹³m

Unknown:

Frequency of the wave = ?

Solution:

The frequency of a wave can be determined using the expression;

     C  = f∧

C is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸m/s

f  is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

      f  = \frac{C}{wavelength}   = \frac{3  x 10^{8} }{2.13 x 10^{-13} }   = 1.41 x 10²¹hz
