Considering the patterns you have noticed in this activity, which statement best explains why a compound with the molecular formula CH3 doesn't exist in nature?
A. Hydrogen typically needs four bonds to reach a noble gas configuration.
B. Carbon needs more than just three bonds to reach a noble gas configuration. C. The chemical CH3 does not react with other substances because of its high stability.
D. CH3 has three double bonds, which fails to give it a noble gas configuration​

Answer :

Answer:
