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.

What is the empirical formula of propene CH3 CH2 CH2​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

<u>CH</u>

Explanation:

Molecular formula of propene : <u>C₃H₆</u>

Take the HCF of carbon and hydrogen atoms :

  • 3 = 3
  • 6 = 2 x 3

Then, we can write the formula as :

  • 3CH
  • This means there are 3 moles present

Empirical Formula :

  • Molecular Formula / No. of moles
  • C₃H₆ / 3
  • <u>CH</u>

<u></u>

The empirical formula of propene is <u>CH</u>

Which of the following compounds contains the lead (iv) ion?
Oliga [24]
Oxidation state of Pb in PbO2 is +4.
Oxidation state of Pb in PbCl2 is +2.
Oxidation state of Pb in Pb2O is +1.
Oxidation state of Pb in Pb4O3 is +6/4.

Hence option A. PbO2 is correct.
Hope this helps, have a nice day!
