This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Specify which atoms, if any, bear a formal charge in the Lewis structure given and the net charge for the species. Be sure to answer all parts.

:C\equiv N:

a. Formal charge C:___________.

b. Formal charge N:________.

d. Net charge:________.

Answer :

a. Formal charge C : (-1) charge

b. Formal charge N : (0) charge

d. Net charge : (-1) charge

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, CN^-

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CN^- = 4 + 5 + 1 = 10

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

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge on C}=4-2-\frac{6}{2}=-1

\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0

Thus, the net charge will be = -1 + 0 = -1

Mantle convection is a process of that creates circular currents in the asthenosphere. As a result, the plates slowly move.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

<em>Rigid plates that move around Earth's surface is called tectonic plates. </em>

Explanation:

Lithosphere is rigid and relatively cold and is the outer surface of the planet. The convective motions of maintenance break the lithosphere into plates.

This place that a form can move in any direction, can move towards each other, can move away and push each other which is the reason for formation of mountains for shifting of continents for making of ocean basin.

What types of solutes are electrolytes when they dissolve in water to form solutions?
Murljashka [212]

Since water does not have charged particles, water is a non-conductor. When some solutes dissolve in water they allow an electric current to flow through the water and the solution conducts electricity. These solutes are called electrolytes. ... Non-electrolytes like sugar dissolve to form molecules in solution.
