The Lewis dot structure for ethane has two C atoms single bonded to each other in the center. Each C atom then has three more single bonds, each attached to an H atom.

What are two possible ways to show the structure of CH4?

Some possible way to show the structure of CH4 are its electron dot diagram or structural formula. CH4 or methane's molecular formula is given as CH4. The structural formula is a graphical representation of a chemical compound.


Is CH4 Lewis acid or base?

CH4 (methane) is a neutral molecule and is neither a Lewis acid nor a Lewis base. Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors, while Lewis bases are electron pair donors. Since CH4 does not have any available lone pairs to donate or accept, it does not exhibit Lewis acid or base behavior.


Does CH4 have an resonance structure?

No it does not. All sides have a Hydrogen so no matter where you move it to, its still the same Lewis structure.


What type of solid is CH4?

CH4 is a molecular solid. In this solid form, methane molecules are held together by intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces, to form a solid structure.


How many polar covalent bonds does the Lewis dot structure of CH4 contain?

The bonds between each C-H are slightly polar, I think. However, the molecule as a whole is nonpolar because of the molecule's tetrahedral position (the Hs surround the C symmetrically and with 90 degree angles between each H)


What type of dot structure does CH4 have?

CH4 has a tetrahedral dot structure, with a carbon atom in the center bonded to four hydrogen atoms, each represented by a line. The four hydrogen atoms are evenly spaced around the carbon atom at the corners of the tetrahedron.


Use Lewis structures and vsepr theory to determine which ch4 and ch3cl are polar and non-polar?

CH3Cl is polar, CH4 is not. You'll have to do your own Lewis structures, and I'm personally a little mystified as to exactly what VSEPR has to do with it (if you were comparing CH4 with NH3 instead, then you'd need VSEPR).


Does CH4 has a double bond in its structure?

There are no double bonds.Only single bonds are present.


What do electrons do during covalent bonding?

A covalent bond is characterized by atoms sharing pairs of electrons. For example: CH4 is a covalent bond. Carbon has 4 valance electrons and hydrogen has 1. Therefore, the electrons will be shared as seen in the Lewis structure of CH4 . Unfortunately, I cannot draw it here, but you can look it up online.
