Explain how the bonding properties of carbon atoms result in the the large variety or carbon-based molecules in living things?

carbon-based molecules have 3 fundamental structures- straight chains, branched chains, and rings. In many carbon-based molecules, small molecules are subunits of an entire molecules. each carbon atom has four unpaired electrons in its outer energy level. therefore carbon atoms can form covalent bonds with up to four other atoms, including other carbon atoms.

How does the bonding effect the macroscopic properties of the molecule?
it combines two or more molecules when bonding
The weak type of bonding which attracts molecules to molecules is?
Hydrogen bonding
Water molecules can bond to other water molecules by hydrogen bonding?
Not only can they, but in the liquid state they do so continuously. Hydrogen bonding between water molecules gives it many of its unique properties, such as being a liquid at standard conditions, which is essential for life; high heat capacity and heat of vaporization; and the fact that solid water is less dense than liquid water.
How do atoms combine to form molecules through ionic bonding?
Atoms do not form molecules through ionic bonding. They form molecules through covalent bonding, in which the atoms share electrons.
Which type of bonding occurs between molecules and not within molecules?
The molecules haves secondary types of bondings as 1- Dipole-Dipole interaction, 2- Vander waal's bonding and 3- Hydrogen bonding, depending upon nature of molecules.
How does the bonding effect the macroscopic properties of the molecule?
it combines two or more molecules when bonding
Is the properties of each state of a substance are due largely to the degree of intermolecular bonding?
Yes. The bonding of the specific molecules of a substance determines its state of matter.
How does the hydrogen bonding between water molecules affect the properties of water?
It enables water molecules to stick to each other and to many other things.
Which of these properties of water cannot be attributed to hydrogen bonding between water molecules?
non polar molecule
The weak type of bonding which attracts molecules to molecules is?
Hydrogen bonding
Why H bonding so importance to water's properties?
Hydrogen bonding allows water molecules to stick together. Although it is considered to be a weak bond, the special properties of hydrogen bonding allows water to be useful in MANY different circumstances. Hydrogen bonding in water allows it to be the universal solvent. It also keeps water molecules together so that we have actual water instead of gas (imagine a world without liquid H2O).
What forces between water molecules are responsible for many of water's unusual physical properties?
hydrogen bonds
What contains water molecules and the hydrogen bonds between water molecules explain most of water's life-supporting properties?
I'm pretty sure it's Hydrogen Bonding. :) -K.

How do atoms combine to form molecules through ionic bonding?
Atoms do not form molecules through ionic bonding. They form molecules through covalent bonding, in which the atoms share electrons.
Type of bonding water molecules exhibit?
Within the molecule itself, water exhibits ionic bonding. Between the water molecules, there is hydrogen bonding.
What name is given to bonding between water molecules?
Bonding between water molecules is referred to as hydrogen bonds.
