How many electrons are there in the valence shell of the carbon atom of the methyl anion, ch3-? o a 2 ob.4 o 0.6

8

Explanation:

Methyl anion (CH₃⁻)

Valence electrons of carbon = 4

Valence electrons of hydrogen = 1  

Charge = -1 which means addition of 1 electron

The total number of the valence electrons  = 4 + 3(1) + 1 = 8

In the Lewis structure of anion also, 1 lone pair and 3 bond pairs on the carbon atom which corresponds to 8 valence electrons.

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
