Why there are so many carbon compound?
The reason why there are so many carbon compounds is because carbon is very stable.
Why organic compounds are polar in nature?
Organic compounds all have one thing in common: Carbon. The reason Carbon (and organic compounds) are popular in nature is carbon can form lots of bonds and, therefore, attach to many atoms. Carbon can form 4 bonds. Organic compounds are not polar. They are nonpolar. It is possible for part of an organic compound to be polar if the end is an alcohol (OH) or some other polar ion is attached.
Are organic compounds diverse because carbon has many allotropes?
No, organic compounds are diverse because carbon can form up to four covalent bonds with virtually any other nonmetal and can easily form double and triple bonds.aslo, the bonds formed by carbon are very stable, allowing carbon to form long, chain-like molecules. This same versatility in bonding is also the reason carbon as many allotropes.
How many ionic bonds does carbon form in its compounds?
Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.
Why carbon is organic?
Carbon is the main component of biologic materials; carbon has the ability to form many bonds and compounds.
Can Carbon form chains?
The fact that carbon can bond with other carbon atoms covalently is why it can form so many compounds. This ability is limitless.
Why carbon can form many different compounds?
Carbon is quite a special element. It can form 2 double bonds, and is able to form long chains with itself, C-C bonds are also strong. This makes it ideal as the basis of living organisms.
What characteristic of carbon atoms allows the formations of compounds?
Carbon can atoms can form four covalent bonds with many, many different elements.
Do compounds exist only in powder form?
No. Many compounds are liquids (water, hexane) and gasses (carbon dioxide, ammonia) at room temperature. Many compounds are solid at room temperature and can, but often do not exist in the form of a powder.
What compound does silicon form?
Silicon can form many compounds. It, like carbon, can bind in many ways with itself and with other chemicals, making a huge number of possible compounds.
How do carbon form many organic compounds?
Yes, carbon (C) forms more compounds than all the other elements combined. Any compound that contains carbon is considered an organic compound.
Why can carbon and hydrogen form so many different hydrogen carbons?
Carbon and hydrogen can form so many different hydrocarbons because the numbers of carbon atoms could, in theory, be infinite. Also, carbon atoms can form double bonds and triple bonds with one another.
