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.

reativity of alkali metals increases down the group while reativity decreases down the group in helogens ​
BigorU [14]

Complete question is;

Chemical reactivity of alkali metals increases down the group while reactivity of halogens decreases down the group. Give reasons

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

Alkali metals exhibit reactivity due to their electropositivity. Now, for alkalis, their electro-positivity increases down their group. Since their reactivity increases with increase in electropositivity, it means their reactivity also increases down the group.

Whereas, the reactivity of halogens occurs as a result of their electronegativity. Now, electronegativity for halogens decreases down the group. Since their reactivity decreases with decrease in electronegativity, it means that their reactivity will also decrease down the group.

What’s the reaction type of aqueous magnesium sulfate + aqueous sodium carbonate?
IrinaK [193]

Answer: Double displacement reaction

Explanation:

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place.

The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

The chemical reaction between aqueous magnesium sulfate and aqueous sodium carbonate is represented as:

MgSO_4(aq)+Na_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+MgCO_3(s)
