Methane reacts with oxygen in the following combustion reaction. ch4 + 2o2 → co2 + 2h2o what bonds are broken in this reaction? a. four c–h single bonds and two o=o double bonds b. four c–h single bonds c. one c=o double bond and four o–h single bonds d. two o=o double bonds

A. Four C–H single bonds and two O=O double bonds.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction proceeds with breaking bonds in the reacting molecules and forming new bonds in the products.In this reaction four single bonds are broken in CH₄ and two double bonds O=O are broken in two molecules of O₂.Also, two double bonds C=O are formed in CO₂ molecules and 4 single bonds O–H are formed in 2 molecules of H₂O (each molecule contain 2 new bonds).So, A is the right answer.
