The most unique property of carbon is its ability to?
Bond to itself to form long chain
Is C-N bond hydrophilic?
Yes the C-N bond is hydrophilic means having the tendency or ability to dissolve or mix with water. The C-N bond which is Carbon-Nitrogen bond is water soluble.
What is the difference between a callable bond and a retractable bond?
A callable bond is where the issuer has the ability to redeem the bond prior to maturity. A callable bond is where the bond hold has the ability to force the issuer to redeem the bond before maturity. Hope this helps.
What is a property of water that refers to water's ability to stick to other substances?
The water molecule is an electric dipole. Its small size and its polarity which is caused by polar H-O bonds. This causes it to bond to other objects such as when sugar dissolves in water. However, it cannot bond to non-polar molecules which is why not everything dissolves in water.
Is water a covalent or a metallic bond?
Water has a covalent bond.

What is electonegativiy?
Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a covalent bond.

What does iodine bond with?
Iodine can bont bond with itself, and other Halogens.
What type of bonding is in lead nitrate?
Lead Nitrate itself is an ionic bond But Nitrate has a covalent bond within itself
Why is that water is describe as apolar solvent?
Due to the ability of the nucleus of oxygen atom to attract the electrons of the covalent bond to itself is higher than that of the nucleus of hydrogen atom, so oxygen atom carry partial negative charge and hydrogen carry partial positive charge

What is the ability of the body to protect itself from its environment?
The ability of the body to protects itself from its environment is called homeostasis.
What is sustain ability?
It is ecosystem's ability to sustain or continue itself.
What is Bond order of water?
The bond order of water is .5.
Is water a covalent or a metallic bond?
Water has a covalent bond.
