Why does hydrogen chloride gas not conduct electricity, while its aqueous solution does?
Chemical Bonding
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Methane has four single covalent bonds. Carbon shares one electron with each of four hydrogen atoms, so the carbon atom is surrounded by four shared pairs.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Covalent bonding involves the mutual sharing of electron pairs between atoms of similar electronegativity.
