Carbon has four valence electrons. Meaning, it has 4 electrons in it's last shell. These 4 electrons will form a covalent bond with other elements to get the full set of 8 electrons needed for it to be stable. That is why it's considered as tetravalent.
Answer:
Explanation:
One CH4 molecules = 10 electrons ( Carbon 6e + 4Hydrogen 4e)
A mole of any substance witll have = 6.023*10^23 atom/ molecuels,
One mole of any substnce is equal is nothing but its moalr mass
Molar mass of CH4 = 16.04
It mean,
16.04 g of CH4 has = 6.023*10^23 molecules of methane
but
4.2 gram of CH4 = 6.023*10^23 * 4.2 /16.04 = 1.58*10^23 molecuels of CH4
So one molecule has =10 electrons
1.58*10^23 molecuels will have = 1.58*10^23 * 10 = 1.58*10^24
Hope this help you
Ok I’m not gonna do anything with my phone I’m gonna send you a picture
I don't know how well known/accepted this is (it's in my textbook so I'm guessing it's right), but Sulphur has two forms - the alpha and beta forms ,apparently gamma sulphur exists as well.
The alpha form is rhombic, yellow in color and has a MP of 385.8 K. The beta form is colorless and has a MP of 393 K and is formed by melting rhombic sulphur and cooling it till a crust forms on top. Poke a hole and pour out the liquid inside and you get beta sulphur. The transition point is 369K - below it, alpha sulphur is stable and above it, beta sulphur is stable. Both have helped. I had to pull out an old textbook and that's something that I don't usually do.
