Question

What is the valency of hydrogen in CH4? Explain

Answer 1

Answer: 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

valency of hydrogen is 1 and valency of carbon is 4
