From the fact that oxygen is in group 16 and carbon is in group 14, the structure of CO2 must be O=C=O. In methane, there is no bond between any of the hydrogen atoms. The structure of H2O2 is H–O–O–H.
Carbon is in group 14 hence it has four valence electrons and oxygen is in group 16 hence it has six valence electrons. This implies that each oxygen atom will share four electrons with carbon in a covalent bond to form the structure O=C=O.
In CH4, we know that carbon is tetravalent so it forms for bonds. Therefore, there is no bond between hydrogen atoms so it bonds with each hydrogen atom; hydrogen only forms one bond.
In H2O2, there is the peroxide ion that has the structure O-O. Hence, the correct structure of H2O2 is H–O–O–H.

Im a bit torn here, lets look at the definitions of physical and chemical changes:
physical change changes only the phase/state of a substance, but not what the substance is
chemical change is a chemical reaction where a new substance is formed and energy is given off or absorbed.
(it just started raining and it smells really nice out my window)
clearly, this cannot be just a physical reaction. i think i would be inclined to pick B. but C. could have merit as an answer too. sorry for the ambiguity x
Answer:
The first ionization energy for K is less than Ca because Ca has a larger effective nuclear charge.
I believe that the answer is B
