Answer:
The configurations are illustrated below.
Explanation:
Hydrogen possesses a single electron in its outer shell, carbon has 4, nitrogen has 5, and oxygen holds 6. To achieve an octet (or duet for hydrogen), they require 1, 4, 3, and 2 electrons respectively.
Therefore, each hydrogen atom will share one electron with carbon, while the remaining electron will be shared with nitrogen, maintaining 4 electrons available for sharing. Carbon can form two bonds with both oxygen atoms, expanding its octet; however, this renders it unstable, leading to the formation of resonance structures (redistribution of electrons), and charge formation. One of the oxygen atoms will share only one electron with nitrogen.
The two structures are depicted below.
Answer: The right choice is (c) application of both a mobile phase and a stationary phase.
Explanation:
Chromatography: This refers to a technique for separating a mixture where the mixture is distributed between two phases at varying rates, one being stationary and the other moving.
Mobile phase: The component in which the mixture is dissolved is referred to as the mobile phase.
Stationary phase: This is an adsorbent medium that remains in place while a liquid or gas passes over its surface, thus remaining stationary.
Consequently, a key characteristic of any chromatography technique involves utilizing both a mobile and a stationary phase.
Solution:
Washing Clothes & Dissolving Sugar
Clarification:
Consider each scenario:
1) For washing clothes, water is essential; without it, washing is ineffective.
2) Connecting brake pedals to brake pads requires solids, not liquids.
3) To deodorize a space, one would likely reach for an aerosol spray, which is a gas.
4) Sculpting involves solid tools and a solid medium.
5) Dissolving sugar necessitates a liquid to be effective!
6) While one might assert that paint is a liquid, it still might not fit the category; I would categorize this application as solid.
7) Gears employed in machinery are solid components!
