What are elements called that exist in different forms?
If they are in different physical form they are ALLOTROPES. If they are in different atomic form they are ISOTOPES. e.g. Allotropes [ Graphite, diamond and buckyballs* buckminster Fullerene) are allotropes of carbon. They appear different because the arrangment of the atomis is different. Isotopes Carbon 12 , Carbon-13, Carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon , because they have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Why can pure element of carbon exist in different forms?
Carbon can form many different structures for a few reasons. One reason is that carbon can form up to four single bonds, two double bonds, or a triple bond and a single bond. This gives versatility in its bonding. Additionally, carbon forms very stable carbon-carbon bonds, which allows for the creation of elaborate structures. Most other elements do not exhibit this stability. Thus, carbon forms the widest variety of structures.
What is Distributive property of multiplication over addition?
The distributive property states that multiplying a sum by a number gives the same result as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products together.
What is the lowest level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for life to exist?
The nicest rate for carbon dioxide gas to exist in air is 0.038 but different kinds of pollution lets it increase causing the global warming.
WHY Organic compound exist in large number?
It is due to the catenation ability of carbon, carbon atoms may arrange themselves in different ways and carbon-carbon bonding is not easily attacked by other substances.
What is meant by the term 'allotrope'?
Each of two or more different physical forms in which an element can exist.
What is one way the phosphorus cycle is different from the carbon nitrogen and water cycle.?
Phosphorus generally does not exist as gas
What is one way the phosphorus cycle is different from the carbon nitrogen and water cycle?
Phosphorus generally does not exist as gas
How much carbon exist in the world today?
carbon exist in earth crust as 0.02% and in atmosphere 0.03%
What is the Chemical symbol for diamond?
Diamond is a crystalline form of carbon, so it appears as C.Diamond is not an element of the periodic table, its an allotrope of Carbon.Allotropy is property of some elements to exist in two or more forms. These different forms are called allotropes of that element.
Carbon exist in a simple organic molecule in a leaf?
Carbon starts out as a simple organic molecule, Carbon Dioxide. The leaf changes it into sugar, which is not a simple compound. It takes the sugar and changes that into a whole lot of different compounds.
