... can readily form four covalent bonds for each atom. This can lead to almost unlimited size, because the structures can readily be replicated in space or along a line. Also, carbon can bond covalently to most other nonmetal atoms and ionically to many metals.
Coal is formed from the remains of ancient plants that were subjected to intense heat and pressure over millions of years. This process transformed the plant material into coal through a process called coalification.
carbon is the back bone of organics molecules because it catenate. it's chain is a straight chain.
No. Because of it's symmetry carbon dioxide is nonpolar.FalseLove, Nessa
carbon :D Plato students..
Because carbon can bind to itself (in multiple ways).
Carbon based molecules are those that have one or more Carbon to Carbon bonds in them, also known as Organic molecules. There are a lot of them.
Compounds like glucose, ethanol, and vitamin C have hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon in their chemical composition. These molecules are essential for various biological processes and are found in many naturally occurring substances.
Carbon atoms. Organic molecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, all contain carbon atoms as their central structural element. This is why life on Earth is considered carbon-based.
you would get more water molecules because for every carbon particle there are 2 water molecules... hey did u get this off a science work-sheet from school? Yeah i'm doing the same question right now.
Hydrocarbons = Molecules containing only carbon and hydrogen - Are major components of fossil fuels produced from the organic remains of organisms living millions of years ago, though they are not prevalent in living organisms. - Have a diversity of carbon skeletons which produce molecules of various lengths and shapes. - As in hydrocarbons, a carbon skeleton is the framework for the large diverse organic molecules found in living organisms. Also, some biologically important molecules may have regions consisting of hydrocarbon chains (e.g. fats). - Hydrocarbon chains are hydrophobic because the C-C and C-H bonds are nonpolar.
Fats and oils are made up of long hydrocarbon chains, specifically glycerol's and fatty acids. Hydrocarbons are organic molecules, so a fat is organic in nature.
Hydrocarbons are organic because they contain carbon and hydrogen.
