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.

When 250 ml of water is added to 35 ml of 0.2 M HCl
Paladinen [302]
Assuming that you’re looking for the concentration of water in the solution, then it would be 0.028 M.

You would have to use the formula:
c1v1 = c2v2, where c =concentration and
v = volume

C1 = ?
V1 = 250 mL
C2 = 0.2 M
V2 = 35 mL

C1 x 250 mL = 0.2 M x 35 mL

C1 = (0.2 M x 35 mL) / 250 mL

C1 = 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl

Therefore, there is 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl

Moved right- Negative

Moved left- Positive
