B

Carbon has 4 valence electrons that can be involved in the formation of a covalent bond. This is why it can form various types of bonds with itself or other elements. Depending on the number of valence electrons involved in the binding, the bond can be a single, double or triple bond.

Explanation:

Remember the atoms sharing electrons in a covalent bond are aimed at achieving stable electron configuration. Carbon (2.4) being in the middle of the 2nd period seeks to be either 2 or 2.8.

This is why carbon based structures can vary so much due to the large variability in which the carbon atoms can bond. Remember carbon is the same element that forms graphite, diamond, and coal.

The mass of 0.10 mole of methane
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

A methane molecule is made from one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. Carbon has a mass of 12.011 u and hydrogen has a mass of 1.008 u. This means that the mass of one methane molecule is 12.011 u + (4 × 1.008u), or 16.043 u. This means that one mole of methane has a mass of 16.043 grams.

メタン分子は、1つの炭素原子と4つの水素原子から作られています。炭素の質量は12.011uで、水素の質量は1.008uです。これは、1つのメタン分子の質量が12.011 u +(4×1.008u)、つまり16.043uであることを意味します。これは、1モルのメタンの質量が16.043グラムであることを意味します。^>^

An atom has 81 electrons, 84 neutrons, and 82 protons. What element is this atom?
posledela

Answer:

Lead

Explanation:

The subatomic particles within an atom can be used to know the atom or element given.

Of particular interest is the number of protons within the atom.

The periodic table is based on the atomic number of atoms. This atomic number is the number of protons within an atomic space.

So; If we know the number of protons within an atom, we can know the element.

The number of protons given is 82, the element is  therefore lead.
