explain how both hydrogen and carbon have achieved stability by bonding with each other to form methane ​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Ray Of Light [21]2 years ago

Each element tries to achieve stability by forming a noble gas configuration (2 or 8 valence electrons)

Carbon has 4 valence electrons, achieving stability requires 4 more electrons

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, achieving stability requires 1 more electron

Carbon and hydrogen bond covalently by sharing their electrons so that they become stable (carbon binds 4 hydrogens) to form CH₄ (methane)

A carbon iota can bond with four other iotas and is just like the four-hole wheel, whereas an oxygen iota, which can bond only to two, is just like the two-hole wheel.

Well, we might as well try a similar question. Magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and an aque
Andrei [34K]

Answer: Magnesium Mg

Explanation:

Oxidization is the process by which a substance either gains oxygen or losses electrons.

The chemical reaction of the above is denoted by,

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Mg went from a 0 to a +2 state which would mean that it lost electrons.

It was therefore oxidized.

You collect 552 mL of argon gas at 23.0 C. What volume will the gas occupy at 46.0C if the pressure remains constant?
taurus [48]

Answer:

1027.9 mL

Explanation:

Formula P1 x V1 / T1 = P2 x V2 / T2

Fill in what you know

Pressure is constant so no need to put that in making the formula

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Voulme 1= 950 mL

Volume 2= ?

Temperature 1 = 25 C

Temperature 2 = 50 C

Explanation:

Formula P1 x V1 / T1 = P2 x V2 / T2

Fill in what you know

Pressure is constant so no need to put that in making the formula

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Voulme 1= 950 mL

Volume 2= ?

In a given column of the periodic table the elements have _____.
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a. similar properties

Explanation:

In a given column of the periodic table, the elements have similar properties.

A column on the periodic table is known as a group or family. The group is a vertical arrangement of elements  on the periodic table.

Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons after their group number.

For example, all the elements in group 1 have one valence electron. Those in group 2 have 2 valence electrons.

The valence electrons of an atom determines its chemical properties. So, all elements in the same group have the same chemical properties.
