Answer :  The number of single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons on the central atom are, 3, 0, 0 and 0 respectively.

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'.

The given molecule is, BCl_3

As we know that boron has '3' valence electrons and chlorine has '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in BCl_3 = 3 + 3(7) = 24

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 18 number of non-bonding electrons.

From the Lewis-dot structure we conclude that,

The number of single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons on the central atom are, 3, 0, 0 and 0 respectively.

An element has two naturally-occurring isotopes. The mass numbers of these isotopes are 113 amu and 115 amu, with natural abunda
DENIUS [597]

Answer: Its average atomic mass is 114.9 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 113 amu

% abundance of isotope 1 = 5% = \frac{5}{100}=0.05

Mass of isotope 2 = 115 amu

% abundance of isotope 2 = 95% = \frac{95}{100}=0.95

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(113\times 0.05)+(115\times 0.95)]

A=114.9amu

Thus its average atomic mass is 114.9 amu

Make the equation equal<br> Fe(NO3)3+KSCN —&gt; Fe(SCN)3 + K(NO3)3
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Fe(NO₃)₃ + 3KSCN  →   Fe(SCN)₃ + 3KNO₃

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Fe(NO₃)₃ + KSCN  →   Fe(SCN)₃ + KNO₃

Balanced Chemical equation:

Fe(NO₃)₃ + 3KSCN  →   Fe(SCN)₃ + 3KNO₃

Type of reaction:

It is double displacement reaction.

In this reaction the anion or cation of both reactants exchange with each other. In given reaction the cation Fe⁺³ exchange with cation K⁺.

The given reaction equation is balanced so there are equal number of atoms of each elements are present on both side of equation and completely hold the law of conservation of mass.

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD → AC +BD

Why is sucrose insoluble in dichloromethane?
Vika [28.1K]
Sucrose is insoluble in dichloromethane because dichloromethane is not a polar solvent.
Sucrose is soluble in water because the molecules of sucrose has the ability to react with the molecules of water and thereby forming hydrogen bond which enhance the dispersion of sucrose in the water. 
Sugar can not react in a similar way with dichloromethane because they do not possess chemical species that can react together to form bonds. Thus, sugar is a polar substance which can not dissolve in a non-polar solvent.
