Answer:

I would say both

Explanation:

Each silicon atom has four valence electrons which are shared, forming covalent bonds with the four surrounding Si atoms.

Carbon contains four electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, it can form four covalent bonds with other atoms or molecules. The simplest organic carbon molecule is methane (CH4), in which four hydrogen atoms bind to a carbon atom (Figure 1).

What is the equilibrium concentration of ibr?

asambeis [7]

IBR is the thermal decomposition of iodine(I) bromide to produce iodine and bromine. This reaction takes place at a temperature of over 40,5°C and is written as:

<span>2IBr ⇄ I2 + Br2
</span>
Equilibrium is a state of dynamic balance where the ratio of the product and reactant concentrations is constant.<span> You can calculate the equilibrium concentration if you know the equilibrium constant Kc (Kc=I^2*Br^2/IBR^2) and the initial concentration for the reaction. The initial concentration is obtained from ICE Table.</span>
