Which of the following best represents and explains the formula for a compound made from carbon and hydrogen? CH4, because four

electron pairs are shared between carbon and hydrogen. CH2, because two electron pairs are shared between carbon and hydrogen. CH4, because each hydrogen contributes four electrons to the bonds. CH2, because each carbon contributes two electrons to the bonds.

A compound is formed when two or more elements combine in definite proportions. In the given scenario we have carbon and hydrogen atoms.

The valence electron configuration of C = 2s²2p²

H = 1s¹

There are 4 valence electrons in carbon; one paired (2s) and two unpaired (2p). Promotion of a 2s electron to a 2p orbital leaves 4 unpaired electrons which can combine with 4 H atoms to form a stable compound: CH4

Ans: (a) CH4, because four electron pairs are shared between carbon and hydrogen.

I NEED THE ANSWER IMMEDIATELY!!! Pls helppp
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

turgor pressure can be done in a lab or a self test.

turgor pressure is key to the plant’s vital processes. It makes the plant cell stiff and rigid. Without it, the plant cell becomes flaccid. Prolonged flaccidity could lead to the wilting of plants.

Turgor pressure is also important in stomate formation. The turgid guard cells create an opening for gas exchange. Carbon dioxide could enter and be used for photosynthesis. Other functions are apical growth, nastic movement, and seed dispersal.

Explanation:

  • salt is bad for turgor pressure.
  • Turgidity helps the plant to stay upright. If the cell loses turgor pressure, the cell becomes flaccid resulting in the wilting of the plant.
  • The wilted plant on the left has lost its turgor as opposed to the plant on the right that has turgid cells.

1. Mg2+ and Ca2+ are in the same group on the periodic table. In terms of electronic
finlep [7]

Answer:

Se detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since both magnesium and calcium ions are in group IIA, we can review the following similar properties:

- Since both calcium and magnesium are in group IIA they have two valence electrons, it means that the both of them have two electrons at their outer shells.

- They are highly soluble in water when forming ionic bonds with nonmetals such as those belonging to halogens and oxygen's family.

- Calcium has 18 electrons and magnesium 10 which are two less than the total protons (20 and 12 respectively) since the both of them have lost two electrons due their ionized form.

- Their electron configurations are:

Ca^{20}=1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^3,3p^6,4s^2\\\\Mg^{12}=1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2

It means that the both of them are at the s region since it is the last subshell at which their electrons are.

Best regards.

What's the oxidation # of P in Mg3p2
ale4655 [162]
The oxidation number of P in Mg3P2 is 3. When writing ionic compounds, you swap the oxidation numbers and add them as the subscript.

Which of the following correctly shows the 3 steps of
natka813 [3]

Answer:

D. Evaporating, condensing, collecting

Explanation:

The mixture is first heated so that the liquid needed to be collected can be evaporated into gas. Then, the gas is condensed back to liquid in a condenser. (usually the condenser is supplied with cold running water so speed up the condensation). Then, the liquid is collected after being condensed, in an apparatus such as a conical flask or a water bath.
