Carbon has a charge of +4, meaning it can share a total of 4 electrons before it is "satisfied". This fact means that it can readily form bonds with a multitude of other elements, especially other Carbon atoms.
This produces Carbon chains which are very stable, and it makes the number of compounds it can form, almost infinite.

How many atoms in 2 molecules of carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is CO2, so 1 carbon and 2 oxygen, so 3 atoms for one molecule. Therefore, two molecules have 6 atoms.The Answer: SIX
What is the number of carbon atoms in 2.5 x 1021 molecules of carbon dioxide?
The formula is CO2, so there is one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen in each molecule.So there are 2.5x10^21 atoms of carbon in that many molecules of CO2.
Both carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules have polar bonds?
No. Because of it's symmetry carbon dioxide is nonpolar.FalseLove, Nessa
What is the number of compounds that carbon and oxygen can form?
Carbon has four sites for bonding, and it can makes chains with itself, this is the basis for hydrocarbons and almost all organic molecules. So carbon forms ALOT of compounds that are organic.
What is rarely found in organic molecules?
Organic Molecules are made up of two key elements, hydrogen and carbon. So the most likely answer to your question is any element that is not hydrogen of carbon. Maybe NaCi?
Why are so many molecules made out of carbon?
The ability of carbon to catenate makes it possible for there to be too many carbon molecules
Why are carbon-based molecules so common in living things?
organic molecules
Why is carbon preasent in so many types of molecules?
Carbon forms four bonds.
How many atoms in 2 molecules of carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is CO2, so 1 carbon and 2 oxygen, so 3 atoms for one molecule. Therefore, two molecules have 6 atoms.The Answer: SIX
Why is carbon important for forming there complicated molecules?
Carbon can form complex molecules because of its ability to form many bonds. Carbon in a neutral species has four single bonds, two double bonds, one triple and one single bond, or one double and two single bonds. Due to this extensive boding, carbon can form large molecules and even chains tens of thousands of atoms long (polymers).
What is special about carbon atoms that they can make so many kinds of molecules?
Carbon atoms can be bonded together.
How any molecules of carbon dioxide from aerobic respiration?
The equation is: C6H1206 + 602 → 6C02 + 6H20 + Energy So there are 6 carbon dioxide (C02) molecules formed.
What is the number of carbon atoms in 2.5 x 1021 molecules of carbon dioxide?
The formula is CO2, so there is one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen in each molecule.So there are 2.5x10^21 atoms of carbon in that many molecules of CO2.
Are long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms that combine with glycerol molecules to form a lipid?
Fatty acid molecules do so.
How many carbon dioxide molecules are produced for every octane molecule burned?
6
Is lipid made from organic molecules?
It's based on carbon, so yep.
Both carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules have polar bonds?
No. Because of it's symmetry carbon dioxide is nonpolar.FalseLove, Nessa
