How many valence electrons should be used to draw a Lewis structure of methane CH4

Chemistry

1 answer:

olganol [36]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

8 valence electrons

Explanation:

There are 4 valence electrons in carbon because it is in group 4A of the periodic table. There is 1 valence electron per hydrogen based on its position on the periodic table, but CH4 has 4 hydrogens in it. So 1 times 4 is 4. Add the 4 valence electrons from carbon with the 4 electrons from H4 to get 8.

1. Complete the following

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{0.603 mol}}$

Explanation:

We must do the conversions

mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of O₂

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 180.16

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ⟶ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

m/g: 18.1

(a) Moles of C₆H₁₂O₆

$\text{Moles of C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} = \text{18.1 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}{\text{180.16 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}\\\\= \text{0.1005 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}$

b) Moles of O₂

$\text{Moles of O}_{2} =\text{0.1005 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} \times \dfrac{\text{6 mol O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}} = \text{0.603 mol O}_{2}\\\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.603 mol}}$ of oxygen}$

What do cations and anions form?

melomori [17]

Answer: Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.
