What element is responsible for the huge diversity of molecules of organic compounds?

Carbon is the element responsible for the huge diversity of molecules of organic compounds. Its ability to form four covalent bonds with other elements, including itself, allows for the formation of complex and varied structures in organic molecules.


How does atmospheric pressure effect molecules?

Pressure is what makes the gas molecules to occupy less volume. Without any atmospheric pressure, which is quite huge (101.3 KPa), the molecular separation of the air molecules would be very huge. This is testified by Boyle's Law PV=constant. If P is very small, inversely, V would be very huge. Therefore, a small mass of air would occupy a huge volume.


What happens when the same kind of atoms combine?

That is the process know as fusion. When the two atoms combine, a very small amount of matter is destroyed in the process. This results in a huge amount of energy release. Fusion is the thermonuclear reaction that powers the stars.


Hold huge amounts of energy and their molecules are spread out as much as possible?

Batteries are devices that store large amounts of energy through chemical reactions. Their molecules are designed to spread out as much as possible to maximize energy storage capacity.


What holds huge amounts of energy?

Nuclear reactions, such as those that occur in the sun, can hold huge amounts of energy due to the conversion of mass into energy as dictated by Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. This process is responsible for powering stars and can produce an immense amount of energy.

Why are there a huge number of molecules?

There are a huge number of molecules because elements can combine in many different ratios and configurations to form distinct molecules. Each molecule can have a unique structure and properties, leading to a vast array of possibilities. Additionally, factors such as temperature, pressure, and chemical reactions can further increase the number and diversity of molecules.


Which property of carbon made it possible for diversity of organisms to evolve on earth?

Carbon has 4 valence electrons, so it has lot of bonding options. This makes possible the huge diversity of compounds that involve the element carbon, which in turn, makes possible the organic compounds that make life possible.


What are ozone layers confined of?

Ozone layer is confined of ozone molecules. These molecules form a huge pool of ozone molecules.


How do you know Britain is multicultural?

Because of the huge diversity of races, religions and cultures to be seen in British cities.


Are all molecules the same size?

No, molecules come in various sizes. The size of a molecule is determined by the number and arrangement of its atoms. Small molecules like oxygen and water are much simpler and smaller than complex molecules like proteins and DNA.

What is a sentence in the word responsible?

Responsible is a word used to describe who or what is the cause, control and reason. For example, "The police are responsible for keeping crime of the streets", or "That was not very responsible of you to open the door to a stranger", or "I think the heavy rain is responsible for that huge tear in the roof".
