Groups of atoms bonded to carbon chains are known as?
Functional
What are the chemical difference between unsaturated and saturated fat?
All fats contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. In a saturated fat the carbon atoms in the chains are boned to as many hydrogen atoms as possible (that is, 2 each, with the last carbon bonded to 3) and all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. In an unsaturated fat some of the carbons are not bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms, and those carbon atoms that are missing hydrogen atoms are double bonded to a neighboring carbon.
Various kinds of atoms or clusters of them covalently bonded to a carbon backbone are termed?
Functional groups
What is special about carbon atoms that they can make so many kinds of molecules?
Carbon atoms can be bonded together.
What is the the shape of carbon when bonded with four hydrogen atoms?
tetrahedral

Can carbon atoms bond together in straight chains bonded chains or rings?
yes

How are carbohydreates and lipids similair?
Carbohydrates and lipids are similair because they both contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to oxygen and hydrogen atoms and they are both nonpolar molecules.
What are the Building blocks of organic molecules?
The chemical carbon (C) is considered the building block of all organic molecules as it forms long chains due to it's ability to bond readily with other carbon atoms. These chains have hydrogen (H) bonded to them as well as other functional groups.
An element whose atoms can make straight chains branched chains and rings chains?
Carbon. Your welcome :)
Is an asymmetric carbon atom attached to four different atoms or groups?
By definition, an asymmetric carbon atom is one that is bonded to four different types of atoms or groups, hence, only one can be a hydrogen atom. If there were two hydrogen atoms you would not have four different kinds of atoms.
What is the relationship between carbon skeletons and functional groups?
Both carbon skeletons and functional groups put together, add, or have atomos of oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. Different arrangements of atoms bonded to a carbon skeleton can form functional groups, wich give specific properties to molecules.
What is special about carbon atoms that they can make so many kinds of molecules?
Carbon atoms can be bonded together.
What Symmetric carbon atom?
symmetric carbon atoms are those atoms in which the carbon atoms valency is satisfied by same atoms r groups functional groups
What is a common type of alkane made of three bonded carbon atoms?
Propane is the alkane with three carbon atoms.
