So this guy has no electrons in the one s orbital. So that means it will be very active and will tend to act as a lewis acid. Now, this methyl and ion, since now it has a pair of electrons inside its orbital, it will tend to act as a lewis base donating those electrons. And because it has one more electron than it should in its neutral states, it has a negative one charge. So let's look at the third type of reaction with the methane molecule. In this reaction, the following ch bond associates.
