The atomic radius of C is 73 pm so if this, -, stands for a radius the chain looks like
-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C- so take 19( - ) for (-)=73 and yopu get 1387 pm

What 2 structural shapes that form whenever carbon atoms bond to other carbon atoms?
The structure that results when carbon atoms bond to one another
depends on the type of bond that is formed. If all of the bonds are
single, the carbon atoms will all be tetrahedral. If some of the
bonds are double, the carbon atoms with one double bond will be
trigonal planar. If a triple bond forms, the atoms in that bond
will have a linear structure. Carbon atoms with 2 double bonds will
also be linear.

Can a molecule made of three atoms be linear if so how?
Yes it can, if there are no lone, unbonded pairs of electrons
around the central atom. Water has 3 atoms, but also has 2 unbonded
pairs. It is therefore a bent shape. Carbon dioxide, however, has
no unbonded pairs, and is linear with 3 atoms.

What is the carbon backbone?
On Earth, life is said to be Carbon based because the majority
of macromolecules are supported by a carbon backbone. Take for
example a saturated fatty acid which consists of hydrogen atoms
bonded onto an infinitely long series of carbon atoms which are
arranged in a more or less straight line. These atoms make up the
carbon backbone, it can be linear (such as the ones found in fatty
acid), they can from a ring (as in most monosaccharides) or have...
