Why are allotropes not a different element?
Allotropic carbon: Organic carbon graphite diamond All are pure carbon, just of different structural forms. In the case of carbon, lattice structural differences in the graphite and diamond forms.
Which element forms bonds that provide the basic structure of many important biological molecules?
carbon
At STP the element oxygen can exist as either O2 or O3 gas molecules These two forms of the element have?
different chemical and physical properties
What does chlorine contain?
Chlorine is an element; it contains only chlorine atoms. It its elemental form it forms diatomic molecules.
Which family of elements are called basis of life?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen. They can form the four moleccules Carbon dioxide(CO2), Water(H2O), Methane(CH4) and Ammonia(NH3). These four molecules are the 'brick' that build to make life.
What is the structural element of a living cell?
The cytoskeleton forms the structural element of the cell.
Is fluorine Molecules or element?
Fluorine is an element that forms molecules.
Different forms of the same element that have different properties because of different atom arrangements are called?
disserent structural forms of the sme element are called
What element's atoms form diatomic molecules as a liquid?
Bromine is the only element that is liquid and forms diatomic molecules Br2. Mercury is also an element and is liquid but is monoatomic.

Is h a molecular element?
Hydrogen, in its elemental form, forms diatomic molecules, H2 , so it can be considered molecular.
What does chlorine contain?
Chlorine is an element; it contains only chlorine atoms. It its elemental form it forms diatomic molecules.
What is the repeating structural unit that forms RNA and DNA?
nucleotide is the repeating structural unit that forms RNA and DNA......
Which element forms the backbone of all organic molecules?
Carbon. Organic molecules are usually made up of carbon chains or rings, with hydrogen atoms bonded to most bond sites. The molecules are distinguished by the length of the chain, the number of double or triple carbon-carbon bonds, and the other elements or ligands that might be bonded to the carbon chain or ring.
What element forms compounds made of long chains of atoms?
Talk to whomever asked this question. Let them know that there is more than one element that does this.What most people think when they think of chains of atoms is carbon. But silicon also forms long chain molecules. This is not an obscure fact; it's very well known and the basis of products all around you, like hair conditioners and bathtub caulk.
