Methane is a covalent bond. Methane is a chemical compound from the bonding one carbon atom and for hydrogen atoms. Although electronegativity increases as you go right of the periodic table, hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20. Chlorine has an electronegativity of 2.55. There difference in electron negativity (0.34). Therefore it is a non polar compound. If there difference was much greater, than they would form a ionic bond. Alkali metals tend to form the most ionic bond, but although hyrdogen is placed with them, it has a higher electronegativity so hydrogen is an exception.
Carbon has 4 valence electrons so it will want to gain 4 more electrons to become stable (Octet rule). Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, so it will want to lose it to become stable. Therefore, one carbon atom takes 1 electrons from 4 hydrogen atoms.
The percentage yield of lead sulfate in this experiment is 88% if 2.53 is divided by 2.85 and multiply by 100. The percentage yield can be calculated when the experimental yield is divided by theoretical yield and then multiply by 100. The percentage yield tells us about the actual yield that is gained in the end of experiment which is lower than theoretical yield.
When an atom emits a beta
particle from the nucleus, the nucleus only has one more proton and one less
neutron and this will make the atomic mass number remains unchanged while the
atomic number increases by 1.
