Question

How many valence electrons are in the Lewis structure of Methane (CH4)?

A. 2


B. 4


C. 6


D. 8 <-- I believe this is correct.

Answer 1

I also believe the answer is 8

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure that is correct too

Because Carbon has 4 VE and you have 4 atoms of hydrogen, each hydrogen atom has 1 VE (4 atoms = 4 VE)

4 + 4= 8 so yeah
