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.

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

idk

explanation:

dasdad

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
