In a molecule of methane, carbon having four valence electrons binds to four hydrogen atoms how many lone pairs of electrons will be represented in the Lewis structure of methane
None. To bind with an hydrogem atom, the carbon needs to ''share'' one of it's valence electron's with the hydrogen's valence electron. Therefore, forming 4 bounds means the carbon atom will share it's 4 valence electrons and there will be no lone electrons. Read more on Brainly.com - https://brainly.com/question/1075300#readmore
