<span>Answer:
For Lewis theory, the most stable species will have a complete octet for as many atoms as possible. Construct Lewis dot structures for each species. You should see that CN+ cannot give a complete octet to the C atom unless a quadruple bond - unknown except in transition metals - is formed. CN will have an odd number of electrons, and is thus a free radical and unstable with respect to dimerization (it forms cyanogen). CN-, the familiar cyanide ion, gives both C and N a complete octet with a triple bond, and is thus the most stable.
Molecular orbital theory is a bit more complex. Nitrogen and carbon are close enough in electronegativity, so the orbitals from the C atom will mix with the same orbitals from the N atom. The molecular orbitals formed will be sigma2s, sigma*2s, pi2p, sigma2p, pi*2p, and sigma*2p. The * denotes an antibonding orbital; these are higher in energy, and electrons placed into these orbitals weaken the bonding between two atoms. CN+ will completely fill the sigma2s, sigma*2s, and pi2p orbitals. CN will add an electron in the bonding sigma2p orbital, and the atoms are thus more strongly bonded than in CN+. CN- fills the sigma2p orbital, and the addition of another bonding electron means that this species has the strongest bond of the three. I might have the names of some of the filled levels incorrect; the energy levels of the sigma2p and pi2p swap at some point. This concept is hard to explain without a picture; see the link.
Thus, both MO and Lewis theory predict CN- as the most stable species, a prediction that matches well with experimental data.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
One prolonged blast every two minutes is an indication of incoming of a power-driven vessel underway. This blast is done to make aware other boats, about your location, in the conditions of poor visibility. The other boats will have to slow down their speed, in order to avoid collision.
Answer:
a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴)
, a_total = 2,236 m
Explanation:
The total acceleration of a body, if we use the Pythagorean theorem is
a_total² = a_T²2 + 
²
where
the centripetal acceleration is
a_{c} = v² / r = w r²
tangential acceleration
a_T = dv / dt
angular and linear acceleration are related
a_T = α r
we substitute in the first equation
a_total = √ [(α r)² + (w r² )²]
a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴)
Let's find the angular velocity for t = 2 s if we start from rest wo = 0
w = w₀ + α t
w = 0 + 1.0 2
w = 2.0rad / s
we substitute
a_total = r √(1² + 2²) = r √5
a_total = r 2,236
In order to finish the calculation we need the radius to point A, suppose that this point is at a distance of r = 1 m
a_total = 2,236 m
The answer should be the letter C...
