Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons. This sharing allows each atom to achieve its octet of electrons and greater stability. Methane, CH 4<span>, the simplest organic compound, contains covalent bonds. Carbon has four valence electrons, while hydrogen has one valence electron. By sharing these outer‐shell electrons, carbon and hydrogen complete their valence shells and become more stable. The duet of electrons on the hydrogen is isoelectronic with helium and forms a complete shell.</span>
Answer:
there is no d electron that can be promoted via the absorption of visible light
Explanation:
One of the properties of transition elements is the possession of incompletely filled d orbitals. This property accounts for their unique colours.
The colours of transition metal compounds stem from d-d transition of electrons due to the presence of vacant d orbitals of appropriate energy to which electrons could be promoted.
For elements whose atoms have a d10 configuration, such vacant orbitals does not exist hence their compounds are not colored.
Sometimes, the colour of transition metal compounds stem from ligand to metal charge transfer(LMCT) for instance in KMnO4.
<span>This is a covalent bond, a bond in which atoms share electrons. Covalent bonding generally happens between nonmetals. Covalent bonding is the type of bond that holds together the atoms within a polyatomic ion. It takes two electrons to make a covalent bond, one from each bonding atom.

Answer is: 4.45 grams of methane gas <span>need to be combusted</span>.
Balanced chemical reaction: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O.
Ideal gas law: p·V =
n·R·T.<span>
p = 1.1 atm.
T = 301 K.
V(H</span>₂O) <span>= 12.5 L.
R = 0,08206 L·atm/mol·K.
</span>n(H₂O) = <span>1.1 atm ·
12.5 L ÷ 0,08206 L·atm/mol·K · 301 K.
</span>n(H₂O) = 0.556 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(H₂O) : n(CH₄) = 2 : 1.
n(CH₄) = 0.556 mol ÷ 2 = 0.278 mol.
m(CH₄) = 0.278 mol · 16 g/mol.
m(CH₄) = 4.448 g.
65 grams of HCl = 65/36.5 moles of HCl = 1.78 moles
1.78 moles of HCl dissolved to make a 5 litres of solution has a concentration of 1.78/5 = 0.36 mol/dm^3 (Note: 1 litre = 1 cubic decimetre)
In a strong acid, such as HCl, [H+] = [acid], so [H+] = 0.36
To calculate pH, we have to take the negative logarithm of the concentration of protons
So, -log(0.36) = 0.45
Hope I helped!! xx
