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

Chemistry

Ray Of Light [21]3 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.

What type of lens is shown -covex lens<br> -this isnt a lens<br> concave lens
sleet_krkn [62]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Lens and Ray Optics.

We must understand the Concept that,

1.) When a beam of parallel light pass through a Convex lens, all the rays get deviated and converges to a special point at the axis that is a Focus.

2.) When a beam of light passes through the Concave lens,the light beams diverge from one another forming a virtual focus in the primary side of lens,

Hence the above given diagram beam rays are diverging, it is a CONCAVE LENS

answer is C.) Concave lens

I REALLY NEED HELP!! Is rubbing alcohol polar, non polar or ionic? Does it mix with water? Does it mix with vinegar?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

You can mix both with rubbing alcohol, and rubbing alcohol is ionic.

Explanation:

To mix them together:

Combine 1 cup rubbing alcohol, 1 cup water, and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into a spray bottle. The solution can kill germs and clean counters, according to Reader's Digest.

Rubbing alcohol is both polar and iconic.

Hope that this helps you and have a great day :)
