Why is carbon is considered tetravalent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
6 0
Carbon has four valence electrons. Meaning, it has 4 electrons in it's last shell. These 4 electrons will form a covalent bond with other elements to get the full set of 8 electrons needed for it to be stable. That is why it's considered as tetravalent.

1. Pure substances cannot be separated into any other kinds of matter, while a mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances.

2. A pure substance has constant physical and chemical properties, while mixtures have varying physical and chemical properties (i.e., boiling point and melting point).

3. A pure substance is pure, while a mixture is impure.

What is the mass of NaCl required to make 140 grams of a 12% solution of NaCl in water?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

C. 17 grams.

Explanation:

∵ mass % = [mass of solute/mass of solution] x 100.

mass of solute (NaCl) = ??? g & mass of solution = 140.0 g.

<em>∴ mass of NaCl = (mass %)(mass of solution)/100 </em>= (12.0)(140.0)/100 = <em>16.80 g ≅ 17.0 g.</em>

What do scientists use to predict the locations of electrons in atoms?. A) probability. B) algebra. C) geometry. D) ratios and p
aev [14]
The correct answer is A) probability

That is because precise electron locations cannot be calculated, only predicted based on previous calculations. They cannot know whether or not an electron will be or will not be somewhere specific.
