If we are talking about one single carbon atom, then 4 hydrogen atoms can be bonded to a carbon atom, because there is 4 electrons in the valence shell, and a valence shell needs 8 electrons in total, which causes the carbon to have 4 open bonds. A hydrogen has only one electron in its valence shell of 2, and needs one more to complete it. So, each hydrogen connects to 1 of 4 bonds on the carbon to complete the valence electron.
Fun fact, CH4 is methane.

6. Would there be a net flow of water in one direction in the following situations? Explain your answers.
amid [387]

Answer: There won't be a net flow of water in one direction in the situation.

Explanation: The concentration of NaCl inside the cell and its concentration outside the cell is the same. This means that there is equilibrium (a balance) between the inside environment of the cell and the outside environment of the cell. And because there is equilibrium between the two sides there will not be a net flow of water in one direction. The flow of water must be in opposite directions (inside and outside) so as to maintain a balance between the two environments.
