How many oxygen atom is in the centre of a methane molecules?
Actually methane molecules have no oxygen atoms. Methane is an organic compound ( a gas at room temperature) which is composed of only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Each methane molecule has 1 carbon atom bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms by covalent bonds.
Percent of hydrogen in methane?
Percentage of hydrogen in methane is 25%. Percentage of hydrogen = mass of hydrogen/mass of methane x 100 mass of hydrogen = 1 x 4= 4 and mass of carbon = 12. Since methane has 4 hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom therefore mass of methane = 16 Percentage of hydrogen = 4/16 x 100 =25
Does Methane have single or double bonds?
No methane does not contain a triple bond. Methane is a covalent compound: in one molecule of methane, there are four hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom each by a single covalent bond (i.e., one single bond between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom).
What is the maximum number of bonds for hydrogen carbon and oxygen?
It depends on the bonding. Are the elements bonded to each other? or is the question simply as the maximum number of bonds for each element separately? Carbon has 4 bonds, hydrogen has 1 bond, oxygen has 2 bonds.
Does hydrogen reacts with oxygen and water?
Hydrogen and oxygen react with each other to create water.
Do hydrogen and oxygen react with water?
No. Hydrogen and oxygen react with each other to form water.
Is using a fuel cell to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen a physical or chemical separation?
It's a physical change. The atoms of Oxygen and Hydrogen that made up the water molecules have simply been separated from each other.
Why don't methane and oxygen react immediately?
For any chemical reaction, there is what is called an activation energy that is required to make that reaction happen. Methane and oxygen both exist as molecules in which there are molecular bonds. In methane, the carbon is bonded to the hydrogen, and in diatomic oxygen, the two oxygen atoms are bonded to each other. So, before the oxygen can bond to the carbon and the hydrogen, all of those existing bonds have to be broken. Once the process begins it is self-sustaining, because it releases a lot of energy, more than enough to break the existing bonds in methane and oxygen. But you still need the activation energy to get things started. This would normally come in the form of a spark. It just takes one small spark to set off an explosion, if you have a mixture of methane and oxygen. Or a pilot light, to light your gas stove.
What does H and O stand for in H2O?
Hydrogen and Oxygen ! - A molecule of water (H2O) contains two atoms of Hydrogen and one of Oxygen. Each Hydrogen atom is attached to the Oxygen atom (but not to each other)
How many atoms of each element is methane made of?
carbon is one atom and hydrogen is four atoms in the methane totally 5 atoms in that.
How many electrons are in one molecule of methane?
Six from the carbon atom and one from each of the four hydrogen atoms for a total of 10. Methane's molecular formula is CH4. The carbon atom has six electrons, and the hydrogens have one electron each, so the answer is 10.
What should the ration be of hydrogen to oxygen for water from the Indian Ocean?
2 hydrogen for each oxygen in a water molecule
