The answer lies within the question. Carbon is "tetravalent". let's break down what it means:
tetra = four
valence= outermost electron shell of the atom
so Carbon atom can hold 4 hydrogen atoms since hydrogen's atomic number is 1.
That is the answer Carbon atom is tetravalent in nature. how many hydrogen atoms can bind to one carbon atom?
just read an article about theCarbon atom is tetravalent in nature. how many hydrogen atoms can bind to one carbon atom? , hopefully can help in getting answers to questions, If your answer is still lacking flavor may question or questions below can be answered.
