4 0

Answer:

Carbon has 4 valence electrons. It is not satisfied. To be satisfied, it needs to covalently bond with 4 electrons to achieve octet (8 valence electrons).

Answer:

4 valence electrons

Explanation:

Because of the relative stability, these atoms often form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds that need a charge. One example is Carbon. It has 4 valence electrons, so it can make a 4+ or a 4- charge.

Which of the following describes the difference between nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15? ( point)
AveGali [126]

Answer:

D. Nitrogen-14 has 7 electrons, 7 protons, 7 neutrons nitrogen-15 has 7 electrons, 7 protons, and 8 neutrons

Explanation:

In an atom, number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.  And the number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom and the atomic number. For Nitrogen 14, electron is 7, proton is also 7 as number  of electrons and number of protons are equal. So, the neutron will be 14-7= 7. For Nitrogen 15, electron number is 7 so proton number will be also 7. Neutron number for nitrogen 15 will be 15-7= 8. That's why the answer is option number 4.

What accounts for the movement of water up the veins of a tall tree?
stiv31 [10]
First of all, the cohesive and adhesive properties of the water molecules fascilitate this. Water molecules stick together and with the walls of the vessels, creating a column of water which doesn t break easily. Moreover the xylem vessels of the tree are very narrow increasing the pressure. Finally, transpiration is taking place as water from the leaves evaporate, thus a continuous osmotic gradient is being created, causing water to be drawn up the tree
