Acetonitrile (ch3cn) is an important industrial cheical. among other things, it is used to make plastic moldings, which have multiple uses, from car parts to lego bricks. which statement below about acetonitrile is false? a. acetonitrile has 16 valence electrons in its lewis structure. b. acetonitrile has one triple bond. c. acetonitrile has one pair of nonbonding electrons. d. all atoms satisfy the octet rule in acetonitrile. e. one carbon atom and the nitrogen atom have nonzero formal charges.

E. There is no formal charge on acetonitrile

Explanation:

All the options may be checked if we draw the structure of the compound.

H₃C - C ≡ N°° , (°°) represents a pair of non bonded electrons

From this structure we can clearly see that Acetonitrile has one triple bond, that it has one pair of non- bonding electron, furthermore all atoms satisfy the octet rule. To  check for valence electrons, simply use the equation

Valence Shell electrons = Valence electrons of Carbon x Number of Carbon atoms + Valence electrons of Hydrogen x Multiplied by Number of Hydrogen + Valence electrons of Nitrogen x Number of Nitrogen

Valence Shell electrons = 4 x 2 + 1 x 3 + 5 x 1 = 16 e⁻s

The formal charge is calculated by No. of valence electron on atom - [non bonded electrons + no. of bonds]

Hence

the formal charge on carbon = 4 - (0 + 4) = 0

the formal charge on nitrogen = 5 - (2 + 3) = 0

Hence the formal charges are zero and the statement is false.

to be fair, you have to have a very high iq to understand rick and morty. the humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. there's also rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from narodnaya volya literature, for instance. the fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about life. as a consequence people who dislike rick & morty truly are idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in rick's existential catchphrase "wubba lubba dub dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to turgenev's russian epic fathers and sons. i'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as dan harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. what fools.. how i pity them.

and yes, by the way, i do have a rick & morty tattoo. and no, you cannot see it. it's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 iq points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. nothin personnel kid

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
