Chem carbon tetrachloride has been widely used in the cleaning industry, in fire extinguishers, and as a refrigerant. construct an explanation of how carbon and chlorine combine to form carbon tetrachloride. a) nonmetal carbon shares valence electrons with each nonmetal chlorine forming four covalent bonds. b) nonmetal carbon loses a valence electron and chlorine metal gains a valence electron to form an ionic bond. c) carbon and chlorine are nonmetals and they shares their valence electrons to become ions and form ionic bonds. d) chlorine metal loses a valence electron to become a cation and nonmetal carbon gains a valence electron to become an anion forming a covalent bond.

A) Nonmetal carbon shares valence electrons with each nonmetal chlorine forming four covalent bonds.

Explanation: Carbon has atomic no 6. It has 4 valence electrons. It can only share electrons as it is difficult to gain or lose 4 electrons to complete it's octet.

Chlorine has atomic no 17 . It has 7 valence electrons and need one electron to complete its octet.

Thus carbon will share 4 electrons, one each with four chlorine atoms to form carbon tetra chloride.

Covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons whereas Ionic bond is formed by transfer of electrons between atoms.

why is cellular respiration important for homeostasis?

it changes food into energy that the organism can use.

which of the following is most likely to happen if a cell is not able to divide?

the cell will not be replaced when it is damaged.

explanation:

because u need two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei to form isotopes.

so since they all have the same shape? i mean maybe because m& m and reeses are both chocolates
