Question

Explain why carbon usually does not form c4+ c4- electron dot structure methane

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon does not form Anion C4- as large amount of energy is required to overcome Inter-electronic repulsion and 6 protons cannot hold 10 electrons. Hence Carbon is not able to form any ion so it shares its electrons to form covalent Bond.

Answer 2

Methane is a colorless, odourless and highly flammable gas which is the main component of natural gas. Electron dot structure of methane is- (Image attached) The covalent bonds are present in between four hydrogen atoms and the single carbon atom at the centre of the molecule.
