Explain the electron dot structure of Hydrogen, oxygen, Nitrogen,CH4 and CO2.
Answers
Explanation:
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. With a standard atomic weight of 1.008, hydrogen is the lightest element in the periodic table. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass.
Oxygen
Oxygen is a non-metal element that is a gas at room temperature. Its molecules contain two oxygen atoms. Oxygen is vital for respiration, which is the process that transfers energy from glucose to cells. Oxygen is necessary for burning to occur.
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a naturally occurring element that is essential for growth and reproduction in both plants and animals. It is found in amino acids that make up proteins, in nucleic acids, that comprise the hereditary material and life's blueprint for all cells, and in many other organic and inorganic compounds.
Ch4
In Ch4 , the central atom is a carbon.
In electron dot structure we represent the valence electron of the element.
Thus, Carbon has 4 electrons in its electron dot structure and hydrogen has one.
They share electrons to form a C−H single bond.
CO2
Carbon dioxide is a gas consisting of one part carbon and two parts oxygen. It is one of the most important gases on the earth because plants use it to produce carbohydrates in a process called photosynthesis.
