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.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

homeostasis

Explanation:

source Wiki

In biology, homeostasis (or “health”) is the state of steady internal, physical, and chemical conditions maintained by living systems. This is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism and includes many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits (homeostatic range). Other variables include the pH of extracellular fluid, the concentrations of sodium, potassium and calcium ions, as well as that of the blood sugar level, and these need to be regulated despite changes in the environment, diet, or level of activity. Each of these variables is controlled by one or more regulators or homeostatic mechanisms, which together maintain life.

How many moles of KNO3 are needed to make 600 ml of a 1.3M solution?
ludmilkaskok [199]
M = n / V

Where, M is molarity (M or mol/L), n is number of moles of the solute (mol) and V is volume of the solution (L).

Here the solute is KNO₃.
 The given molarity is 1.3 M
 This means 1L of solution has 1.3 moles of KNO₃.

Hence moles in 600 mL = 1.3 M x 0.6 L = 0.78 mol

Therefore to make 1.3 M KNO₃ solution, needed moles of KNO₃ is 0.78 mol
