A) CH4
In general, methane reactions are difficult to control. Partial oxidation to methanol, for example, is a rather difficult reaction because the chemical reactions that occur continue to form carbon dioxide and water even though the amount of oxygen available is insufficient.
<h2>Further explanation

Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon in the form of gas with the chemical formula CH4. Pure methane does not smell, but if used for commercial purposes, a bit of sulfur is usually added to detect leaks that might occur.
Methane is a greenhouse gas. Methane is used in chemical industrial processes and can be transported as frozen liquids (liquefied natural gas, or LNG).
Methane is a major component of natural gas, around 87% of volume.
Methane is not toxic, but is highly flammable and can cause explosions when mixed with air.

Because it represents 2 atoms of carbon not 2 molecules of carbon
Answer:
Four electrons are present in the valence shell of Silicon.
Explanation:
Valence shell electrons are those electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. These valence shell electrons are responsible for in the formation of bonds with other atoms.
Silicon having atomic number 14 has fourteen electrons in its neutral state and has the electronic configuration as follow;
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p²
In given configuration the valence shell (outermost shell) is 3 and the number of electrons present in it are four i.e. 3s² and 3p² (2 + 2 = 4) respectively.
