The model below shows a carbide ion. 8 light grey and 6 dark grey balls sit at the center with 2 concentric black rings around them. The inner ring has 2 medium grey balls on it, and the outer ring has 8 medium grey balls on it. At bottom, a dark grey ball = +1, a light grey ball = 0, a medium grey ball = negative 1.

What could be done to change this carbide ion to a neutral carbon atom?

remove 2 electrons
add 2 electrons
remove 4 electrons
add 4 electrons

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
