What are the main differences between a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom?
A carbon atom has 2 energy levels,hydrogen atom has only 1 energy level. Carbon atom has 4 valence electrons ,hydrogen atom has 1 valence electron. Carbon has 6 electrons, hydrogen has 1 electron.
What is the different between a hydrogen atom and carbon atom?
There are many differences between a hydrogen atom and a carbon atom. Most importantly, the number of protons and electrons within the atom. This is what gives atom's their characteristics. Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, while carbon is a solid at room temperature.
What is differences between hydrogen and carbon dioxide?
Hydrogen (H) consists of one hydrogen atom (H), and is an element; carbon dioxide (CO2) consists of one carbon atom (C), and two oxygen atoms (O2), and is a compound.
Is a carbon atom larger than a hydrogen atom?
Yes, carbon atoms are larger than hydrogen atoms.
How many bonds can each atom of carbon and each atom of hydrogen form?

What is a hydrocarbon atom?
A hydrocarbon is a molecule, not an atom. Hydrocarbons contain carbon and hydrogen. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Does a carbon atom have the same mass as an oxygen atom?
No. They do not have same mass. Mass of carbon atom is 12 times that of hydrogen atom and mass of oxygen is 16 times that of hydrogen atom.
What is one similarity between hydrogen and carbon dioxide?
One similarity between Hydrogen and carbon dioxide is that their atom structure is similar, for example protons, neutrons and electrons, in which both substances have.
Is bonding of four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom ionic or covalent?
Covalent. The elctronegativity (the ability of an atom to attract electrons) difference between Hydrogen and Carbon is not enough that carbon will completely strip an electron from the hydrogen. Instead, the Carbon pulls on the shared electron just a little bit more than the hydrgen does, creating a covalent bond between them.
What is the difference between a hydrogen atom and atomic hydrogen?
The difference between a hydrogen atom and atomic hydrogen is that the "hydrogen atom" represents one atom of the chemical element hydrogen. Atomic hydrogen are isolated hydrogen atoms.
Did any of the models have a hydrogen atom between two carbon atom Why or Why not?
When the models are not shown a person will not be able to know if there are any hydrogen atoms between them. If the models are shown a person will be able to know the answer.
How many hydrogen atoms would be bonded to the carbon atom inmethane?
Each carbon atom in methane is bonded to four hydrogen atoms.
How does the size of a carbon molecule compare to that of hydrogen?
A carbon atom is about 1.5 times as big as a hydrogen atom.You'd need to be more specific about what you mean by "a carbon molecule". Carbon molecules can be enormous.
What is the difference between isopropyl alcohol and methanol?
Isopropyl alcohol is C3H8O, consisting of a 3-carbon chain. The middle carbon atom is bound to the OH group and 1 hydrogen atom while the other 2 are each bound to the middle carbon and 3 hydrogen atoms. Methyl alcohol is CH4O, consisting of a single carbon atom bound to 3 hydrogen atoms and an OH group.
What type of bond joins the carbon atom to each of the hydrogen atoms?
A single (nonpolar) covalent joins the carbon atom to each of the hydrogen atoms.
Is covalent the name of the bond between a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom in ethane?
Yes this is a covalent bond. The hydrogren atom is sharing its one electron with one of the four electrons of the carbon atom, thus making it a covalent bond.
Which atom weighs the most a helium a hydrogen or a carbon?
carbon is the heaviest
What is the bond between an oxygen atom and a hydrogen atom in a water molecule?
The bond between oxygen and hydrogen in the same molecule is a covalent bond. The bond between a hydrogen atom and oxygen atom in different molecules is a hydrogen bond.
What are the symbols and element numbers for oxygen and carbon and hydrogen?
O atom number 8 for oxygen, C atom number 6 for carbon, H atom number 1 for hydrogen.
How many hydrogen atoms could become a single carbon atom?
Its impossible. The carbon and hydrogen are 2 different elements, they are 2 different atoms.If hydrogen atoms connect that's going to become a hydrogen molecule.And carbon is an atom, not a molecule.
What is the conjugate base of CHO3?
1 atom of carbon, 1 atom of hydrogen, and 3 atoms of oxygen C=carbon H=hydrogen O3= oxygen
How many covalent bonds does each atom of carbon form with methane?
there are four covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen in methane (CH4).
Why does one atom of carbon react with four atoms of hydrogen?
A carbon atom has four unpaired valence electrons, each of which is available for bonding with a hydrogen atom (as well as other elements). By the sharing of electrons the carbon and hydrogen atoms effectively achieve noble gas configurations.
What are the two elements of ch4?
Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H) (one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen)
