Question
How much valence electrons does CH2O
Answers
GPT 3.5
To determine the number of valence electrons in CH2O, we need to consider the electron configuration of the constituent elements.
Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons.
Hydrogen (H) has 1 valence electron.
Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons.
To calculate the total valence electrons in CH2O, we add the valence electrons from each element:
Carbon (C) contributes 4 valence electrons.
Hydrogen (H) contributes 2 valence electrons (2 hydrogens x 1 valence electron each).
Oxygen (O) contributes 6 valence electrons.
Adding them together: 4 + 2 + 6 = 12
Therefore, CH2O has a total of 12 valence electrons.
