Answer:
D) 
Explanation:
Carbon.
The electronic configuration is -
Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.
But in methane, 
it forms 4 bonds. So, 1 electron each from 2s orbital jumps to the next orbital in the p subshell.
Thus, the configuration is:-
Thus, the valence electron configuration is:-
Answer:
electron configuration
Explanation:
The arrangement of electrons in the atomic orbitals of an atom is called the electron configuration. Electron configurations can be determined using a periodic table.
Answer:
Explanation:(differences)SOLIDS have maximum intermolecular attraction and fixed shape so their particles are stable. LIQUIDS have small particles and are tightly held by molecular bond but not as tight as solid. liquid assume the shape of their container.GAS has free movement of particles...SIMILARITIES.. Liquid,solid and gases can be kept in containers...
