  1. Methane, CH4, is formed by an endothermic reaction, so it absorbs heat. Whenever a substance is formed by an endothermic reaction, it contains more energy than the parts of it alone (C+2H2), which means it is more unstable than C and H2. Whenever there is an exothermic reaction, energy is released, and the products have less energy, so they are more stable. You know that when you burn hydrocarbons (fuel), you get fire. It would take as much energy released in that fire to make the original hydrocarbons, which would absorb that energy. So the making of hydrocarbons can't be spontaneous, but in gaseous planets like Jupiter and all them, there is immense heat and pressure, so if they had hydrogen and carbon, its very easy to make it. If you want some methane (sorry to be gross), take a balloon and hold it up to a cow's anus. Sorry if that was confusing
  2. when naming molecular compounds, the symbols are in order of electronegativity, from least electronegative to the left to more electronegative on the right. Since fluorine is the most electronegative element, it is always on the right.
  3. ooooohhhhhhhhhhh... ok then. Thanks!
  4. I was just wondering whether there was a kind of opposite atom. Like positrons would be in the orbitals, and particles that were the same size and mass of protons, but same charge of electrons in the nucleus with normal neutrons. I know positrons exist, and you could make the electon(my made-up name for the negatively charged proton) with 3 down quarks. I was just wondering about this and it would be interesting to know.
  5. I think we need to have nuclear science on here. This is a very important science and it is quite intresting. Contact me for comments on this.
  6. Hey, I know a lot about chem. so if you have anymore problems, you can see me too.
  7. In order to find the molarity, you must have the volume. Divide the number of moles of the solute you are given by the liters of the solution.
