What does each type of atom in a molecule have?
a nucleus
What type of soil is found in the tundra?
If you were to compare it to Arctic soil...Usually in cold places.... soil have methane ,soil in cold places releases methane... or parafrost
What are the main gas in Earths atmosphere?
Type Of Gas Most In The Earth Is Methane.
What is each type of atom in copper sulphate?
Copper sulphate is either CuSO4 or Cu2(SO4)3 depending on the oxidation number of the copper atom. Therefore, there are three types of atoms in copper sulphate - copper, sulfur and oxygen.
When a chemical equation contains the same number of atoms on both sides is the equation balanced?
From each side the number of atoms of each element must be the same.
What type of atom is four hydrogen and one carbon attom?
Methane, CH4
What type of bond will be formed between 1 carbon and 4 hydrogen's atom's?
The bonds in methane are covalent.
What type of intermolecular force has methane got?
I think the type of force in methane is Van der Waals forces, because of the temporary change in dipole moment arising from a brief shift of the electrons to one side of an atom.
What are the fractions of each type of atom in hydrogen peroxide?
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2):2 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atomsorhydrogen: 5,93 % and oxygen: 94,07 %
Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in?
Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in a molecule.
Do many elements have the same type of atom?
By definition, an element is a substance with only one type of atom. So no, each element has its own type of atom.
Is methane gas a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture or an element or compound?
Methane is a compound.The answer to your question of, Is methane gas an element, a compound, homogeneous mixture, or heterogeneous mixture can be deduced as follows:What is the structure of methane gas? CH4Elements are a single type of atom. Anything from the periodic chart, such as H, C, Na, P, K, etc. Itcan include more than one atom such as H2, but it is the same element.In CH4, we have two elements a carbon atom (C) and 4 hydrogen atoms (H4), not one single type of atom. Therefore, it is not an element.Compounds are two or more elements bonded together such as CO2 ( a carbon atom and 4 oxygen atoms), NaCl (a sodium atom and a chloride atom, H2O (2 hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom).In CH4, we have two elements a carbon atom (C) and 4 hydrogen atoms (H4), not one single type of atom. Therefore, it is a compound.Mixtures are a combination of elements and/or compounds combined. CH4 is a compound, but we have not added another element or compound to it, so it is not a mixture. If we added an alcohol (-OH) to CH4, we could make methanol, a mixture of methane and alcohol. Therefore, methane is not a mixture.
What does each type of atom in a molecule have?
a nucleus
What are the chemical properties in methane?
Methane gas is colorless, odorless and tasteless. Smell of the natural gas used for domestic needs comes from additives (e.g. methyl mercaptan) and constitutes a safety measure. Methane gas density is 0.717 kg/m3, and it is lighter than air. Methane becomes liquid below 112 K and solidifies under 90.5 K. This gas is only poorly soluble in water, but is soluble in organic solvents
How many of each type of atom is in a single molecule of water?
hydrogen atom 2 oxygen atom 1
Each different type of atom is called a?
Unique
Carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) are pure substances. Each is made of only one type of atom but carbon atoms are different from hydrogen atoms. Carbon and hydrogen chemically combine to form methane (CH4)?
Yes, all is true.
