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.

Which of the following represents the mass of 1 molecule of SH2?
mr_godi [17]
Answer:
            5.645 × 10⁻²³ g

Solution:

Step 1) Calculate Molar Mass of SH₂;

Atomic Mass of Sulfur    =  32 g/mol

Atomic Mass of H₂         =  2 g/mol
                                      --------------------
Molecular Mass of SH₂  =  34 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass of one molecule of SH₂ as;

As,

                     Moles  =  # of Molecules / 6.022 × 10²³

Also, Moles  =  Mass / M.Mass So,

                     Mass/M.mass  =  # of Molecules / 6.022 × 10²³

Solving for Mass,

                     Mass  = # of Molecules × M.mass / 6.022 × 10²³

Putting values,

                     Mass  =  (1 Molecule × 34 g.mol⁻¹) ÷ 6.022 × 10²³

                     Mass  =  5.645 × 10⁻²³ g
