What is the difference between the isotope of carbon and hydrogen?
There are many differences between a hydrogen atom and a carbon atom. Most importantly, the number of protons and electrons within the atom. This is what gives atom's their characteristics. Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, while carbon is a solid at room temperature.
What is the atom that is most closely associated with living things?
Carbon simple i know
Is carbon in the inside a atom or outside an atom?
Carbon is an atom.
What atom forms the backbone of most biological molecules?
Carbon
What is special about the carbon atom?
It has many unique properties, most important in relation to us is that it is found in every living creature, so far as we know.
What do you mean by 1 atom of Carbon and 1 gram atom of Carbon?
One atom of carbon is one atom of carbon. One gram atom of carbon is the atomic weight (14 in the case of carbon) in grams, so it would be 14 grams of carbon.
What is adjacent atom and bond?
The adjacent carbon atom means the carbon atom next to, or beside, the atom of interest. For example, in an aldehyde, the carbon that has the double bond to oxygen is called the carbonyl carbon. The adjacent carbon is called the alpha (α) carbon.
Why carbon monoxide is or is not an atom?
Carbon monoxide is a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one carbon atom.
What most likely happen when a carbon atom and oxygen atom combine?
a new element is formed! CO....assuming its one atom each.
What do you mean by 1 atom carbon and 1 gram of carbon?
one gram of carbon* Avogdo's number =number of atom (many atom) one atom of carbon mean carbon have a 6 electron and 12 molar mass
Is it true a carbonyl group is an oxygen atom single bonded to a carbon atom?
No this Completely incorrect because in the carbonyl group we have the carbon atom double bonded to oxygen atom and a carbonyl is probably the most important functional groups in chemistry due to the fact that it is found in wide range of organic compounds....! does this makes sense to anybody? let me know! are you lost....! you better try to find me yourself....!
How carbon atom able to form many carbon atom?
There are multiple types of carbon atoms (Carbon 12, Carbon 13, and Carbon 14).
