What are the two properties of carbon which lead to the huge number of carbon compound you see around us?
hat are the two properties of carbon which lead to the huge no. of carbon compounds we see around us ??
What 2 elements are contained in all organic compounds?
Whether a compound is "organic" or not depends only on one element: carbon. Both methane (CH4) and cyanogen (NCCN) are organic compounds, and as you can see they only have one element in common.
How can carbon compounds in the leaves be recycled so that they can be used again by the trees?
Think about photosynthesis - this occurs in the leaves of plants and trees and this is recycling of carbon compounds. It is the reverse process of respiration in animals and it is this balance between the two that is being upset by the use of fossil fuels which are ancient stores of carbon.
Oxygen can combine with carbon to form two compounds carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide The ratio of the masses of oxygen that combine with a given mass of carbon is 1 or 2 This is an example of?
the law of multiple proportions
What are the characteristics and uses of carbon?
Carbon Family (14) - includes a nonmetal (carbon), two metalloids (silicon and germanium) and two metals (tin and lead) - vary greatly in both physical and chemical properties - occur in nature in both combined and elemental forms - have four valence electrons - are relatively unreactive - tend to form covalent compounds (tin and lead also form ionic compounds)
What are two compounds that contain carbon?
Calcium carbonate; carbon dioxide are two
Which two carbon compounds are recycled in the carbon and oxygen cycles?
Carbon dioxide and sugar
What two carbon compounds are recycled in the carbon and oxygen cycles?
carbon dioxide and sugar
Organic compounds always have what two elements in them?
carbon and hydrogen
Which molecule does the element carbon makeup in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide, methane are the two more common compounds.
What is bond dissociation energy and how does if affect carbon compounds?
Strong car-carbon bonds help explain the stability of carbon compounds.
How are elements and compounds connected?
Compounds are made up of two different kinds of elements. An example: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is made up of the elements Carbon and Oxygen.
Is carbon a gas or solid?
it is ofcourse a solid. diamond and coal are two forms of carbon made compounds.
Is Carbon Oxide a compound?
There is no single compound called carbon oxide. There are two oxides of carbon: carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Both are compounds.

What two things do organic compounds share in common?
All organic compounds contain carbon and connect with covalent bonds.
What are two elments in oxyen?
Two compounds containing Oxygen are: >> Carbon Dioxide - CO2 >> Water - H2O
