Valence.
The electrons in the outer shell of an atom are called valence electrons.
Valence electrons determine whether the an element is ready form compounds. These electrons can be gained, lost, or shared in the formation of compounds.
A chemical reaction that removes electrons from an atom is called "O<span>xidation".
The term came from late 18th century from French.
When the electrons are removed from an atom it increase its valence.</span>
Answer:
Sp3
Explanation:
Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only. Some examples of hydrocarbon are methane, butane, ethane, ethene, etc.
Hybridization can be defined as a phenomenon which involves the combination of two or more atomic orbitals to form the same number of hybrid orbitals, with each of the orbitals having the same shape and energy.
In Organic chemistry, ethane is considered to be a tetrahedral carbon and it's Sp3 hybridized.
A tetrahedral carbon typically comprises of four bonds that are 109. 5° apart while a linear carbon atom comprises of two (2) bonds that are 180° apart.
Hence, the molecule of ethane posses a Sp3 hybridization because it has four bonds arrange with a tetrahedral geometry.
40.0 is the answer, sorry, I had some lag, I would've answered it like 5 minutes ago
Hope I helped
