A visual representation of covalent bonding which represents the valence shell electrons in the molecule is said to be a Lewis structure. The lines represents the shared electron pairs and dots represents the electrons that are not involved in the bonding i.e lone pairs.
Number of valence electrons in each atom:
For Carbon, 
= 4
For Hydrogen, 
= 1
For Nitrogen, 
= 5
The Lewis structure of 
is shown in the attached image.
The formula of calculating formula charge = 
-(1)
where, F.C is formal charge, V.E is number of valence electrons, N.E is number of non-bonding electrons and B.E is number of bonding electrons.
Now, calculating the formal charge:
For on left side:
For :
For on right side:
The formula charge of each atom other than hydrogen is shown in the attached image.
Answer:
d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces
Explanation:
The aim of the question is to select the right condition for that would increases the rate of the reaction.
a) use a large sized piece of the solid Cu
This option is wrong. Reducing the surface area decreases the reaction rate.
b) lower the initial temperature below 25 °C for the liquid reactant, HNO3
Hugher temperatures leads to faster reactions hence this option is wrong.
c) use a 0.5 M HNO3 instead of 2.0 M HNO3
Higher concentration leads to increased rate of reaction. Hence this option is wrong.
d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces
This leads to an increased surface area of the reactants, which leads to an increased rate of the reaction. This is the correct option.
948 or 9.48 x 10^2
There are two sets of rules for significant figures
• One set for addition and subtraction
• Another set for multiplication and division
You used the set for multiplication and division.
This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is
The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.
Thus, we have
78.9
+890.43
-21.
= 948.33
The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.
To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.
