It is a value (of 1/2) that describes the angular momentum of an electron in either clockwise or in anti-clockwise direction..........
The net ionic equation is shorter to use and already leaves out the electrons that transferred from the reducing agent to the oxidizing agent. Also, in some occasions the aqueous ions H+ and (or) OH- ions that help balance the net ionic charge are no longer shown in the net ionic equation.
Al4C3 + 12H2O = 4Al(OH)3↓ + 3CH4
There’s no picture? regardless, if there are two numbers of electrons adding up to 8, then they will likely form an ionic bond/compound. if they can form a covalent bond with whatever amount of electrons, ex carbon 4 and 4, then it would b covalent compound
