What elements is the major component in organic chemistry?
carbon and oxygen and hydrogen are considered to be the base of organic chemistry due to small size of hydrogen ang single bond forming capacity also carbon is tetravalent and can show catenation easily which is why its root of all organic chemistry
Which compounds are tetravalent?
Tetravalent means having 4 valence electrons. The elements in the 14th group are tetravalent. They do not lose or gain electrons. they gain electrons.
What is a tetravalent impurity?
Tetravalent Impurities consist of 4 valence electrons.. :)
