The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Given: 1 mole of methane (\( \text{CH}_4 \))

Electron count per molecule:

  • Carbon: 6 electrons
  • Hydrogen (each): 1 electron × 4 atoms
  • Total per molecule: 6 + 4 = 10 electrons

 

Avogadro's number: \( 6.023 \times 10^{23} \) molecules/mole

Total electrons: \[ 10 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23} = 60.23 \times 10^{23} \]

Thus, the correct option is (B): \( 60.23 \times 10^{23} \).
