Answer:

B carbon

Explanation

Lewis structure or dot structure is an easy way to get the bonding details of atoms in a molecule. If we talk about methane molecule carbon is central atom with four electrons that are bonded to four hydrogen atoms and each bond is single covalent bond.

Please see attached figure,

Hope it helps!

Answer:

B) carbon

Explanation:

A Lewis structure depicts the distribution of valence electrons around the atom. Since it is the valence electrons that are involved in the formation of chemical bonds, Lewis structures are therefore an import tools for visualizing molecular geometries.

In the given molecule methane, CH₄:

the valence configuration for C = 2s²2p²

the valence configuration for H = 1s¹

Since two electrons are required to form a bond, the C atom in methane can form one bond with each of the 4 H atoms. Therefore, in the Lewis diagram, the C atom will be in the center surrounded by the 4 H atoms.

A 45 mL sample of nitrogen gas is cooled from 135ºC to 15C in a container that can contract or expand at constant pressure. Wha
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

V₂ =31.8 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial  volume of gas = 45 mL

Initial temperature = 135°C (135+273 =408 K)

Final temperature = 15°C (15+273 =288 K)

Final volume of gas = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 45 mL × 288 K / 408 k

V₂ = 12960 mL.K / 408 K

V₂ =31.8 mL

According to the octet rule, which of elements will have a tendency to loss 2 electrons?
Aneli [31]
The correct option is STRONTIUM.
Strontium is a group 2 element, that means it has two electrons in its outermost shell. This element will prefer to lose these two electrons in its outermost shell in order to attain the octet form, therefore, it will form electrovalent bond with non metals which it can donate two electrons to.

What is the relationship between KMT and Sea Level Rise?<br> CER format<br> 3-4 sentences
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Sea level may rise as a result of the expansion of seawater and the melting of land-based ice due to a warming environment.

<h3>What is the sea level?</h3>

The sea level is the fundamental level for calculating height and depth on Earth. Since the ocean is one continuous body of water, its surface tends to seek a constant level. The sea surface is not actually level due to winds, currents, river discharges, fluctuations in gravity, and temperature.

<h3>Why is sea level important?</h3>

People are impacted by sea level changes through flooding, the inability of rivers to empty into the ocean due to the sea being too high, and the surge of seawater onto the land during storms. Our drinking water and the ability to cultivate crops could be harmed if sea water gets into farms and reservoirs.
