Do carbons form four ionic bonds in its compound?
Carbon has the ability to have four bond sites, however, sometimes, such as in CO2, there are sets of lone pairs where bonding can occur, but has yet to happen.
What type of bonding has dimond?
The carbon to carbon bonding in Diamond is a covalent bonding.
What type of hydrocarbon is ethane?
Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon ring of 6 carbons with both single (sp) and double (sp2) bonding. Each carbon is bonded to a single hydrogen giving it the formula C6H6.
What is the molecular shape of C2H4?
Think of this as H2C3H2 or HC3H3 As carbon is tetravalent and hydrogen is monovalent there must be either two hydrogens bonded to a carbon that is double bonded to another that is double bonded to the third which has the remaining hydrogens double bonded. Otherwise this must be a hydrogen bonded to a carbon that is triple bonded to another carbon which is single bonded to the third carbon which is bound to three hydrogens.
Carbon bonding is almost entirely hydrogen?
No, carbon bonding is almost entirely covalent bonding between two carbon atoms.
Why does carbons unique bonding ability makes it essential in all organic molecules?
With carbon, molecular chains, known as Linear Polymeric Molecules (LPM), can form.
Do carbons form four ionic bonds in its compound?
Carbon has the ability to have four bond sites, however, sometimes, such as in CO2, there are sets of lone pairs where bonding can occur, but has yet to happen.
What is the difference in the bonding between carbons atom in carbon dioxide and butane?
Butane has bonds between carbon atoms.Carbon dioxide hasn't bonds between carbon atoms.
Which element most resembles Silicon for chemical bonding ability?
carbon
What property makes the carbon atom compatible?
Tetravalence, Carbons ability to form four bonds with other atoms
What are tertiary carbons?
A secondary carbon is a carbon atom that is singly bonded to two other carbon atoms.
What type of bonding has dimond?
The carbon to carbon bonding in Diamond is a covalent bonding.
What properties of carbon explain carbons ability to form different large and complex structures?
one carbon atom can bond to another which gives carbon the ability to form chains that are almost unlimited in length
What type of hydrocarbon is ethane?
Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon ring of 6 carbons with both single (sp) and double (sp2) bonding. Each carbon is bonded to a single hydrogen giving it the formula C6H6.
What are carbons that have carbon-carbon double bonds called?
alkenes
Carbon bonding is almost entirely hydrogen?
No, carbon bonding is almost entirely covalent bonding between two carbon atoms.
