The cyanate ion, NCO-, has the least electronegative atom (carbon) in the center. The very unstable fulminate ion, CNO-, has the same formula, but the nitrogen atom is in the center. a. Draw the three possible resonance structures of CNO-. b. Which of the structures in part (a) is most favored? c. Mercury fulminate is so unstable it is used in blasting caps. Can you offer an explanation for this instability?

Analyze how limestone is weathered and identify the features that are formed as a result of this dissolution

How many liters of oxygen gas, at standard temperature and pressure, will react with 35.8 grams of iron metal? 4 fe (s) + 3 o₂ (g) → 2 fe₂o₃ (s)

The ozone molecule o3 has a permanent dipole moment of 1.8×10−30 cm. although the molecule is very slightly bent-which is why it has a dipole moment-it can be modeled as a uniform rod of length 2.5×10−10 m with the dipole moment perpendicular to the axis of the rod. suppose an ozone molecule is in a 8000 n/c uniform electric field. in equilibrium, the dipole moment is aligned with the electric field. but if the molecule is rotated by a small angle and released, it will oscillate back and forth in simple harmonic motion. what is the frequency f of oscillation?
