1 mol of Carbon = 12 grams.
x mol of Carbon = 55 grams
12*x = 1 * 55
x = 55/12
x = 4.583333 mols of carbon
1 mol of anything is 6.02 * 10^23 atoms
4.58333333 mol = x
1/4.5833333 = 6.02 * 10^23/x
x = 4.58333* 6.02*10^23
x = 2.7591 * 10^23 Carbon atoms
Answer:
Group 18, also known as the Noble Gasses
Explanation:
Atoms strive for full stability by gaining or losing electrons to get 8 valence electrons in their valence shell, but Group 18 already has 8 electrons in their valence shell, and are therefore already stable in their ground state.
Methanol is not an example of a fossil fuel.
When two carbon atoms are covalently bonded together, they try to achieve an octet structure so their electrons are 4 in number while each of them donates their remaining 2 so they end up sharing 4.
