What properties of carbon help carbon to form complex structures?
Carbon can form complex molecules because of its ability to form many bonds. Carbon in a neutral species has four single bonds, two double bonds, one triple and one single bond, or one double and two single bonds. Due to this extensive boding, carbon can form large molecules and even chains tens of thousands of atoms long (polymers).
What type of bond will nitrogen form with phosphorus?
Nitrogen and phosphorous will tend to form covalent bonds with each other.
Can benzene exist in the boat and chair confirmation?
no because unlike cyclohexane which has all single bonds, benzene alterates with double and single bonds. therefore it does not want to freely form the boat and chair conformations
What element does not exists as a diatomic molecule in its most stable form 1 Iodine 2 Oxygen 3 fluorine 4 nitrogen 5 carbon?
Carbon. The others form bonds with their like element. Oxygen forms double-bonds, Nitrogen triple bonds, and Fluorine thru to Bromine form single bonds. Carbon would need to form quadruple bonds in order to obtain a stable octet (i.e. 8 valence electrons), which is known to be impossible.
What bonds does calcium and chlorine have in common with hydrogen and nitrogen?
They do not have any bonds in common. Calcium and chlorine atoms form an ionic bond and hydrogen and nitrogen form a polar covalent bond.
Does nitrogen form single bonds only?
No; nitrogen can form single, double, or triple bonds.
What element has atoms that can form single double and triple covalent bonds with other atoms of carbon?
Nitrogen can form single, double, and triple bonds with carbon. The triple bond form is called cyanide.
How many different kinds of covalent bonds can a nitrogen atom form?
Nitrogen can form single, double, and triple covalent bonds.
Can Oxygen and Nitrogen form a bond?
Yes, the bonds are covalent and polar. They can be single or double. Examples include the many oxides of nitrogen and also the bonds in nitrate ion
How many unpaired electrons do nitrogen have?
3. So it can form three single bonds OR a single bond and a double bond OR one triple bond.
How many single covalent bonds can a nitrogen atom form?
3
How many single bonds does carbon form?
Carbon has four valence electrons, each of which can be shared to form four single bonds. This means that it is possible to have two double bonds.
What kind of bonds can nitrogen form?
Nitrogen can form covalent bonds.
How many bonds can an atom form if it has an atomic number of 7 (nitrogen)?
Nitrogen can form a maximum of three single covalent bonds, one with each of its three 2p electrons.
Can carbon only form single bonds?
No. Benzene (C6H6) is a base for very many carbocyclic compounds. It contains six carbon atoms in a hexagon. The bonds between the carbon atoms are alternately single and double. The fourth is with the hydrogen. Acetylen (C2H2) jas a triple carbon-to-carbon bond.
Which elements can form adiatomic molecules joined by a double covalent dond?
Only oxygen. The halogens and hydrogen form single covalent bonds, and nitrogen forms a triple covalent bond.
Does NH3 have double bonds?
No, Nitrogen forms single bonds with the Hydrogens and has a lone pair of electrons attached to it. You should already know that hydrogen can only form single bonds. Eg: H | H-N-H . . the two dots represent the lone pair of electrons. ;)
