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.

Which reaction has the highest atom economy for the production of C02?​
In-s [12.5K]

The highest atom economy

2CO + O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The reaction for the production of CO₂

Required

The highest atom economy

Solution

In reactions, there are sometimes unwanted products that can be said to be a by-product or a waste product. Meanwhile, the desired product can be said to be a useful product, which can be shown as the atom economy

of the reaction

the higher the atomic economy value of a reaction, the smaller the waste/ byproducts produced, so that less energy is wasted

The general formula:

Atom economy = (mass of useful product : mass of all reactants/products) x 100

<em>or </em>

Atom economy = (total formula masses of useful product : total formula masses of all reactants/products) x 100

So a reaction that only produces one product will have the highest atomic value, namely the reaction in option C

Socratic an example of an atom that has no charge is one that has
aksik [14]

An example of an atom that has no charge is one that has a. 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 1 neutron.

To be neutral an atom must have the <em>same number</em> of protons (+) and electrons (-).

Only then will the <em>charges cancel</em> and give a neutral atom.
