In a molecule of methane, carbon (having four valence electrons) binds to four hydrogen atoms. how many lone pairs of electrons will be represented in the lewis structure of methane? a. four b. two c. one d. zero

option D, zero

Explanation:

Since methane formula,CH4

And Carbon has atomic number-6 and has 4 electrons in outer shell. These 4 electrons will combine with 1s1 electron of each 4 Hydrogen results zero unpaired electrons.

Hence D is correct answer.

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
