I looked at the question and there isn't a lot of information. im assuming the answer is carbon dioxide. its the only substance that would make sense I hope it helps.
<span>C. C4H8
Given that the number of moles of CO2 and H2O produced from the combustion are equal, that means for every carbon atom, there are 2 hydrogen atoms because CO2 has only 1 carbon atom and H2O has 2 hydrogen atoms. So let's look at the available choices and see which one is correct.
A. C2H2
This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.
B. C2H6
This is a 1 to 3 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.
C. C4H8
This is a 1 to 2 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Correct answer.
D. C6H6
This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.</span>
the answer would be B an atom that has lost an electron
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!
