What ability allows carbon atoms to from a large number of molecules?

The carbon atom can share 4 electrons in its outer "shell" with other atoms. This is the reason it can form the high number of bonds with other elements

How many molecules are in3.0 moles of carbon dioxide?
The number of molecules in a mole of any covalently bonded compound such as carbon dioxide is always Avogadro's Number. Therefore, the number of molecules in 3.0 moles is 1.8 X 1024, to the justified number of significant digits.
How many number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in three molecules of carbon dioxide?
there is no hydrogen in carbon dioxide. since carbon dioxide is CO2 there are 3 carbon and 6 oxygen atoms in three molecules.
How many molecules are contained in 1.25 moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nbsp?
The number of molecules is 7,52767607125.10e23.
When is it appropriate to use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of an element?
Prefixes are used to denote the number of molecules, not the number of atoms. If you want to make some carbon dioxide out of carbon monoxide, the formula is:2CO + O2 -> 2CO2Or, two molecules of carbon dioxide plus one of oxygen give two molecules of carbon dioxide.
What happens to the number of carbon atoms in the carbon chain molecules as they through the Krebs cycle?
Energy is released.
What does the letters and numbers means in co2?
the number of carbon dioxide molecules
What volume of carbon dioxide contains the same number of molecules as 20ml of oxygen at the same conditions?
The same number of molecules implies the same number of moles.
What two atoms must organic molecules have in them?
If I absolutely had to answer with two atoms, I'd say carbon and hydrogen. This is because carbon is the absolutely indispensible atom that is the absolute basis of all organic molecules, forms they're backbones, and it is carbon's ability to make multible chemical bonds that allows for complex molecular structures. Secondly, hydrogen because any time a carbon molecule has a free chemical bond (not bound to another carbon or some other atom), it bonds to hydrogen. Hydrocarbons are entirely carbon and hydrogen. I must say however that for some organic molecules (e.g. carbohydrates) I would have to say there are three atoms which are the basis: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
How many molecules of carbon dioxide are there in 1.0 grams of the gas?
The gram molecular mass of carbon dioxide is about 44.01 grams. By definition, this value is the number of grams of carbon dioxide that contains Avogadro's Number ("AN") of molecules. Avogadro's Number is about 6.022 X 10^23. Therefore the number of molecules in 1 gram is (1/44.01)(AN) or 2 X 10^21 molecules, to the justified number of significant digits.
Is the number of molecules of carbon monoxide in 1 mol CO equal to Avogadro number?
Yes.
What is the number of carbon atoms in 2.5 x 1021 molecules of carbon dioxide?
The formula is CO2, so there is one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen in each molecule.So there are 2.5x10^21 atoms of carbon in that many molecules of CO2.
What is the number and type of each atoms found in a molecule of ethyl alcohol?
6 hydrogen molecules 2 carbon molecules 1 oxygen molecules
