Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic distribution is 2, 4. Therefore, in order to become stable and completely fill its octet carbon readily share its valence electrons with another atom.

For example, C + 2H_{2} \rightarrow CH_{4}

A carbon atom is also able to form a double double with valence  electrons of other atom.

Thus, we can conclude that a carbon atom has a strong tendency to share electrons.

Answer:

Share electrons

Explanation:

The carbon atom has atomic number 6, and it has 4 electrons in the valence shell (electronic distribution is: 1s² 2s² 2p²). To be stable, the carbon atom needs to gain electrons and will have a noble gas configuration.

However, is very difficult for an atom to donate 4 electrons. Carbon share electrons with other elements, and for that, can do 4 covalent bonds.

A student collected the data shown in the table below during an experiment.

Answer:

An alcohol thermometer can measure the freezing point of a liquid that freezes at −80 °C.

Explanation:

A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature. A thermometer must contain a thermometric substance. A thermometric substance is any substance having a particular physical property that changes with temperature.

For all liquid-in-glass thermometers, the property that changes with change in temperature is the height of the liquid. There are two kinds of liquid-in-glass thermometers; mercury-in-glass thermometer and alcohol-in-glass thermometer.

Alcohol-in-glass thermometer measures very low temperatures up to as low as -115°C. If it measures such a low temperature, then it can efficiently measure -80°C hence the answer.

Alcohol-in-glass thermometers have a narrower temperature range than mercury-in-glass thermometer. The later is well adapter for the measurement bof higher tempetures up to 357°C.
