Answer:

Explanation:

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, that is, they are formed just by carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded through single covalent bonds. The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2.

If n = 25 (25 carbon atoms), 2n + 2 = 2 × 25 + 2 = 52. There are 52 hydrogen atoms in the structure and the alkane has the formula C₂₅H₅₂.

The answer is B. This is because Sodium has 1 valence electron and Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. All elements want 8 valence electrons so they may be stale, like the noble gases are. Hope this helps.
