In a molecule of methane, carbon (having four valence electrons) binds to four hydrogen atoms. How many lone pairs of electrons

will be represented in the Lewis structure of methane?

None. To bind with an hydrogem atom, the carbon needs to ''share'' one of it's valence electron's with the hydrogen's valence electron. Therefore, forming 4 bounds means the carbon atom will share it's 4 valence electrons and there will be no lone electrons.

Approximately how many moles of chlorine make up 1.79 × 1023 atoms of chlorine?
e-lub [12.9K]
1.2*10^24# atoms of chlorine

Explanation:
Chlorine gas (#Cl_2#) has two atoms of elemental chlorine in a molecule, so:
#1# mol of #Cl_2# have #6*10^23# molecules of #Cl_2#
#1# molecule of #Cl_2# have #2# atoms per molucule
Then #2*6*10^23 = 1.2*10^24# atoms of chlorine in a mol of chlorine gas

Answer:
             Sodium Bicarbonate on decomposition produces Carbon dioxide gas and Water vapors.

</span>
Explanation:
                   Let suppose you burn 168 g ( 2 moles ) of NaHCO₃, a gas will produced and product is left behind. On measuring the product formed it will be almost equal to 105 g. This shows that the product is Na₂CO₃ and 1 mole of it is being produced after decomposition of sodium bicarbonate.

One mole of copper(ii) sulfate, cuso4, contains ________ o atoms.
Ierofanga [76]
According  to  avogadro   constant,  the  number  of  units  in  one  mole  of  any  substance   contain  6.022  x10  ^23  atoms

therefore  the  number  of  o  atoms  in   one  mole  of    CuSO4  =  6.022 x 10 ^ 23
