Why do 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms?
Because an oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. A carbon atom has only 6 of each. So 1 oxygen atom weighs more than 1 carbon atom and therefore 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms.
Why is there so much more in a mole of sugar than carbon?
Sugar is composed of 22 atoms of hydrogen, 12 atoms of carbon as well as 11 atoms of oxygen
What are two atoms that are heavier than carbon?
Elements with atomic numbers 1-5 are lighter than carbon.
Hoy many different atoms can join with carbon?
No more than four.
What do you notice about the naming of hydrocarbons with the number of carbon atoms greater than 4?
Starting from Hexane, I notice that the beginning of the name starts with the latin number for how many carbon atoms there are
Are there more carbon atoms in 48g of CO2 than in 12 grams of diamond?
There are more carbon atoms in 48 grams of CO2 than in 12 grams of diamond

How does carbon -12 compare to carbon -13?
Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are isotopes of carbon (different atoms of the same element with same number of protons but different number of neutrons). Carbon-13 has 7 neutrons while carbon-12 have 6 neutrons. Both have 6 protons and 6 electrons.
Why are diamonds so hard but carbon is not?
Although there are made from the same element (carbon), the chemical connections between diamonds atoms are several times more strong than those of carbon atoms.

Is C6H14 a cycloalkane?
No. It is a normal alkane. In a cycloalkane, the number of hydrogen atoms cannot be more than twice the number of carbon atoms.
Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane have two more hydrogen atoms than a 4 carbon cyclic alkane?
octet rule
What is the word root of an organic compound containing more than 50 carbon atoms?
pentacont
What does the presence of hydrogen atoms in carbohydrates indicate?
Carbohydrates are more reduced than carbon dioxide.
