How many electrons are being shared between the atoms in this molecule

Physics

NemiM [27]4 years ago

. The formula for methane is CH4. There are 8 total valence electrons - 1 each for the hydrogen atoms, and 4 for the carbon atom. There are four single bonds, and no lone electron pairs in the methane molecule. With 8 valence electrons and 4 single bonds, we get 8/4=2 electrons per bond. 

<span>2. The methane molecule contains four single, or sigma, bonds. Each sigma bond is formed between the 1s orbital of a hydrogen atom, which contains one electron, and one of the four hybrid sp3 orbitals of the carbon atom, each of which contains one electron. That gives us 2 electrons per bond.

When does a scientist create the conclusion?
Gre4nikov [31]


The best answer is d - while comparing the data with the hypothesis. The scientific method defines the correct steps as:

1. observation - use of the five senses to learn about something.

2. Question - where you raise questions based on your observation.

3. Hypothesis - a prediction or guess of what the answer to the question is.

4. Method - point where you test the hypothesis by carrying out an experiment.

5. Results / data - this is what happened after each step of the experiment.

6. Conclusion - where the results of the experiment are discussed and it  is summarized if the prediction was true or not, based on data from the results.

A 1.0-in.-diameter hole is drilled on the centerline of a long, flat steel bar that is 1 2 thick and 4 in. wide. The bar is subj
Dominik [7]

Answer:

The answers are

The average stress = 20000 lb/in²

The maximum tensile stress immediately adjacent to the hole

= 31076.92 lb/in²

Explanation:

To solve the question we have

Weight of tensile load = 30,000 lb

Width of steel bar = 4 in

Thickness of steel bar = 1/2 in

Average Stress = Force/Area  

Size of hole drilled = 1.0 in diameter

Available width at cross section where the 1.00 in diameter hole is drilled =

(4 - 1) in = 3 inches

Cross sectional area at the point of reduced cross section due to the drilled hole = Width × Thickness (Since the item is a flat bar)

= 3 in × 1/2 in = 1.5 in²

Therefore Stress = (30000 lb)/(1.5 in²) = 20000 lb/in²

the maximum tensile stress immediately adjacent to the hole.

Bending stress = \sigma_B= \frac{M_y}{I} where I = \frac{(0.5^2 + 4^2)}{12}

0.5*30000/I = 11076.92 lb/in²

Max stress = 31076.92 lb/in²

A 7.1 resistor and a 4.8 resistor are connected in series with a battery. the potential difference across the 4.8 resistor is me
Taya2010 [7]
For resistors in series in a DC circuit, the potential difference is proportional to the resistance.

The voltage V across the 7.1 ohm resistor can be found from the proportion
   V/7.1 = 12/4.8
   V = 7.1*12/4.8 = 17.75

The potential difference at the battery terminals is the sum of the potential differences across the two series resistors.
   Vbatt = 17.75 V + 12 V
   Vbatt = 29.75 V
