Methane is gas that is found in small quantities in Earth's atmosphere. Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon, consisting of one c

arbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. It is a powerful greenhouse gas, flammable, and used as a fuel worldwide. Construct an explanation of how carbon and hydrogen combine to form methane. A) Nonmetal carbon shares valence electrons with each nonmetal hydrogen forming four covalent bonds. B) Carbon and hydrogen are nonmetals and they share their valence electrons to become ions and form ionic bonds C) Nonmetal carbon loses a valence electron and the nonmetal, hydrogen gains a valence electron to form an ionic bond. D) Hydrogen loses a valence electron to become a cation and carbon gains a valence electron to become an anion forming a covalent bond.

Answer:

A) Nonmetal carbon shares valence electrons with each nonmetal hydrogen forming four covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Methane is formed when nonmetal carbon shares valence electrons with each nonmetal hydrogen forming four covalent bonds. Nonmetals share electrons to form covalent bonds.

Good luck! :)

Which atom in each pair has the larger atomic radius?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

1. Potassium, K.

2. Calcium, Ca.

3. Gallium, Ga.

4. Carbon, C.

5. Bromine, Br.

6. Barium, Ba.

7. Silicon, Si.

8. Gold, Au.

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

Additionally, the unit of measurement of the atomic radius of chemical elements is picometers (1 pm = 10 - 12 m).

1. Li or K: the atomic radius of lithium is 167 pm while that of potassium is 243 pm.

2. Ca or Ni: the atomic radius of calcium is 194 pm while that of nickel is 149 pm.

3. Ga or B: the atomic radius of gallium is 136 pm while that of boron is 87 pm.

4. O or C: the atomic radius of oxygen is 48 pm while that of carbon is 67 pm.

5. Cl or Br: the atomic radius of chlorine is 79 pm while that of bromine is 94 pm.

6. Be or Ba: the atomic radius of berryllium is 112 pm while that of barium is 253 pm.

7. Si or S: the atomic radius of silicon is 111 pm while that of sulphur is 88 pm.

8. Fe or Au: the atomic radius of iron is 156 pm while that of gold is 174 pm.

What type of reaction is: sulfuric acid + potassium hydroxide -&gt; potassium sulfate + water?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Double replacement reaction

Explanation:

Now, let us first write the reaction equation properly:

     H₂SO₄ + 2KOH ⇒ K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

The above reaction is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base whose product gives salt and water only at most instances.

From here, we can observe that the species displaces on another in their ionic state. Hydrogen replaces potassium and water is produced. Potassium combines chemically with sulfate ions to give the salt of potassium.
