Question
In methane (CH₄), what are the valence electrons of
carbon and hydrogen respectively?Solution
Methane (CH₄) is a simple carbon compound commonly used as fuel and a major component of biogas and CNG. In this molecule, carbon has 4 valence electrons (making it tetravalent), while hydrogen has 1 valence electron. This electronic structure allows carbon to form four bonds with hydrogen atoms in methane.
