Question

what is the valency of carbon in methane

Answer 1

Answer:

Methane has its molecular formula CH4.

It is formed by one carbon atom and four hydrogen atom.

Hydrogen has its valency 1 and carbon being tetravalent needs four valence electrons to acquire noble gas configuration, where it shares its 4 electrons with four hydrogen atoms.

Therefore, the valency of carbon atom in Methane (CH4) is 4.
