<em>Answer: </em>D
<em>Explanation:</em>
chemical formula of methane: CH4
electron configuration of C: 2,4
electron configuration of H: 1
there are 4 hydrogen atoms that donated 1 electron each to C
therefore it's D.
valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outer shell. there can only be 8 electrons in the outer shell. The number of valence electrons can be used to determine how many bonds are needed.
For example: H2O
O (oxygen) has 6 valence electrons
H (hydrogen) has 1 valence electron
O needs 2 more electrons to be stable
H needs 1 more electron to be stable
O forms one bond with two H atoms to form H2O.
