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!
<u>Answer:</u> The red litmus paper turns blue on dipping in NaOH solution.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Litmus paper is the indicator that detects the nature of the solution, whether it is acidic or basic.
There are 2 types of litmus paper:
- <u>Red litmus paper:</u> This paper will turn blue if it is dipped in basic solution and will remain as such if it is dipped in acidic solution.
- <u>Blue litmus paper:</u> This paper will turn red if it is dipped in acidic solution and will remain as such if it is dipped in basic solution.
NaOH is a strong base, so when a red litmus paper is dipped in the beaker having necessary amount of NaOH, the red litmus paper turns into blue.
<span>The copper would go under oxidation since it will be losing two electrons. Copper starts out with an oxidation number of zero, but in order to balance the compound of CuO with the Oxygen having an oxidation number of -2, a positive 2 is required</span>
Sodium metal is quite reactive; sodium ions (as in NaCl) are quite unreactive. Cl^- ions are not reactive; they are stingily attracted to positive ions such as Na^+with which they form ionic bonds.
