For the atom to be neutral, it must have the same number of electrons and protons. The aromic number indicates the number of protons. Since Carbon has 6 protons, it would have to have 6 electrons for it to be neutral
Explanation and answer:
The molar volume of a gas is 22.4 L at 0 deg. C.
So the molar mass of the gas is, by proportion,
0.16 g * (22400 mL)/(240 mL) = 14.93 g
The molar mass of (CH4)n = 12+4(1) = 16.
So n = 15.93/16 = 1, or the molecular formula is CH4.
Note: The temperature at which the volume was observed was not given. If 240 cm^3 was observed at 20 deg.C, then the volume at 0 deg.C would be
V=240*(273+0)/(273+20) = 223.6
The molar mass = 0.16*22400/(223.6) = 16.03
which gives n = 16/16.03 = 1 again, but more accurately.
An example would be that they can reproduce just like anything else that is living
This is a guess, but I think it could be the lack of limiting factors.
