Answer : The resonance structure of is shown below.
Explanation :
Resonance structure : It is defined as when more than one Lewis structure can be drawn, the molecule or ion is said to have resonance.
Resonance is the concept where electrons (bonds) are delocalized over three or more atoms which cannot be depicted with one simple Lewis structure.
First we have to draw Lewis-dot structure.
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,
As we know that sulfur has '6' valence electrons, carbon has '6' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electron.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 6 + 4 + 5 = 15
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 7 number of bonding electrons and 8 number of non-bonding electrons.
In SCN, carbon atom is the central atom and sulfur and nitrogen are the neighboring atoms.
The resonance structure of is shown below.
Answer:- The right choice is A. .
Solution:- Latent heat of fusion means the heat required to melt the solid at constant temperature means there is no change in temperature only the solid changes to liquid. So, it is a solid to liquid phase change.
where q is the heat required to convert solid to liquid, m is the mass and is the latent heat of fusion.
From given info, 550 kJ that is 550000 J of heat is required to melt 14 kg of solid at 262K temperature. Let's rearrange the equation for latent heat of fusion and plug in the values in it.
=
If we round this value to two sig figs and write in scientific notations then it becomes .
So, the right choice is A. .
