Answer:
One carbon atom and the nitrogen atom have nonzero formal charges.
Explanation:
The compound Acetonitrile has sixteen valence electrons as is easily San from its structure. It contains a carbon nitrogen triple bond with a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. All atoms satisfy the octet rule and there is no hyper valent atom in the molecule.
The formal charge an carbon and nitrogen is calculated as follows;
No. of valence electron on atom - [non bonded electrons + no. of bonds]
Therefore, for carbon and nitrogen, we have;
formal charge on carbon = 4 - (0 + 4) = 0
formal charge on nitrogen = 5 - (2 + 3) = 0
Hence carbon and nitrogen both possess zero formal charges.
Answer:
[He]: 2s² 2p⁵.
[Ne]: 3s².
[Ar]: 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p².
[Kr]: 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵.
[Xe]: 6s² 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6p².
Explanation:
- Noble elements are used as blocks in writing the electronic configuration of other elements as they are stable elements.
He contains 2 electrons fill 1s (1s²).
So, [He] can be written before the electronic configuration of 2s² 2p⁵.
Ne contains 10 electrons fill (1s² 2s² 2p⁶).
So, [Ne] can be written before the electronic configuration of 3s².
Ar contains 18 electrons is configured as ([Ne] 3s² 3p⁶).
So, [Ar] can be written before the electronic configuration of 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p².
Kr contains 36 electrons is configured as ([Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶).
So, [Kr] can be written before the electronic configuration of 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵.
Xe contains 54 electrons is configured as ([Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶).
So, [Xe] can be written before the electronic configuration of 6s² 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6p².
Answer:
The reason they don't react is because Elements with full octets are stable, the Elements with no unpaired electrons do not react at all in the decay.
The answer would be A. Genotype
