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.

Which element, if combined with chlorine, will have the greatest attraction for the chlorine electrons? N P As
Mumz [18]
Basically, the answer for this would be N or NITROGEN. If we combine nitrogen with chlorine, what happens is that, it can attract more chlorine electrons towards itself. The reason is that, nitrogen is considered more electronegative compared to chlorine. So best answer for this is the first option.

A mixture of 0.600 mol of bromine and 1.600 mol of iodine is placed into a rigid 1.000-L container at 350°C.
kaheart [24]

The equilibrium constant of the reaction is 282. Option D

<h3>What is equilibrium constant?</h3>

The term equilibrium constant refers to the number that often depict how much the process is able to turn the reactants in to products. In other words, if the reactants are readily turned into products, then it follows that the equilibrium constant will be large and positive.

Concentration of bromine = 0.600 mol /1.000-L = 0.600 M

Concentration of iodine = 1.600 mol/1.000-L =  1.600M

In this case, we must set up the ICE table as shown;

              Br2(g) + I2(g) ↔ 2IBr(g)

I          0.6            1.6           0

C      -x                -x             +2x

E    0.6 - x         1.6 - x       1.190

If 2x = 1.190

x = 1.190/2

x = 0.595

The concentrations at equilibrium are;

[Br2] = 0.6 -  0.595 = 0.005

[I2] =   1.6 - 0.595 = 1.005

Hence;

Kc = [IBr]^2/[Br2] [I2]

Kc = ( 1.190)^2/(0.005) (1.005)

Kc = 282
