What is the main reason so many different molecules are made from carbon atoms.?

The unique ability of carbon atoms to form strong covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and a variety of other elements allows for a wide range of molecular structures and bonding arrangements. This versatility of carbon bonding is the main reason why so many different molecules can be formed.


In two molecules of carbon dioxide 2CO2 there are how many atoms and what are they made of?

2 CO2 means there are two molecules of carbon dioxide. In one molecule of CO2 there is 1 carbon atom, and 2 oxygen atoms. So three atoms total. Therefore, in 2 molecules (each with 3 atoms) there are 6 atoms total. The molecules are made of atoms of carbon and oxygen. The atoms themselves are made of protons, electrons, and neutrons.


How many hydrogen and carbon atoms are made in 5 molecules of carbon dioxide?

5 molecules of carbon dioxide will contain 5 carbon atoms (1 per molecule) and no hydrogen atoms as carbon dioxide contains only carbon and oxygen. The 5 molecules will contain a total of 10 oxygen atoms (2 per molecule).
