How many resonance structures or isomers does ch4 have?
2 answers:
Answer : Methane does not has any resonating structures or isomers.
Explanation : Methane has tetrahedral geometry where all the valence bonds of carbon are satisfied with hydrogen atoms which are similar to each other. They also do not produce any lewis dot structure. Therefore, methane cannot have resonating structures.
Answer:
Zero.
Explanation:
Hello,
As long as methane has hydrogen atoms all around the carbon atom sharing four valance electrons to attain the octate in a tetrahedral structure, no matter where the hydrogens get moved, its molecular arrangement will always have the same Lewis structure or 3D projection (attached picture) in this manner, it does not have any resonance structures.
Best regards.

Answer:
Reagent A: PBr₃
Reagent B: Mg in Et₂O.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, your facing a problem in which a carboxylic acid is produced starting by an alcohol. More specifically, cyclopentanol must react with phosphorous tribromide in order to yield bromocyclopentane which is more likely to produce a carboxylic acid, therefore, reagent A is PBr₃.
On the other hand, by means of the production of the specified product, bromocyclopentane must react with carbon dioxide and magnesium in diethyl ether in acidic media to promote the production of the cyclopentanoic acid via the grignard reaction (substitution of the bromine by the carboxyle group), therefore, reagent B is Mg in Et₂O.
Best regards.
