The answer is true. One neutral atom of carbon has four valence electrons.
An easy way of finding out is to check out the periodic table and look at which main number group the element is in. Carbon is in group number four, which would mean it has four valence electrons.
Hope I was able to help!
__ KClO₃ → __ KCl + __ O₂
Left Side:
1 K
1 Cl
3 O
Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
2 O
Since the least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6, we need to multiply the compound with 2 oxygen by 3 and the compound with 3 oxygen by 2.
This gives us 2KClO₃ → __ KCl + 3O₂.
However, this equation is still not balanced.
Left Side:
2 K
2 Cl
6 O
Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
6 O
In order to balance the K and Cl, we need to multiply the KCl compound on the right side by 2.
2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂
I'm not sure on this I'm sorry I can't help you I wish I could!
