OH groups a strongly electron withdrawing. The effect of two of these groups on a single carbon is that it causes de-shielding of the carbon nucleus making the carbon atom a strong electrophile. The carbon then attacks the lone pair of one of the hydroxyl groups, forming a C, O double bond and expelling a proton and a hydroxide ion which form water.

What do you mean by 1 atom of Carbon and 1 gram atom of Carbon?
One atom of carbon is one atom of carbon. One gram atom of carbon is the atomic weight (14 in the case of carbon) in grams, so it would be 14 grams of carbon.
Is carbon monoxide an atom?
Yes. One carbon atom is bonded to one oxygen atom by two covalent bonds and one coordinate covalent/dative bond, to form a complete molecule.
What is the formula for carbon monoxide?
CO because Carbon Monoxide means one carbon atom for one oxygen atom.
Are monomers and polymers of aldehydes and keytones that have hydroxyl groups attached?
No, monomers and polymers of aldehydes and ketones do not have hydroxyl groups attached. Aldehydes and ketones have a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to at least one carbon atom and do not have any hydroxyl groups (-OH) attached to the carbon chain.
What is the symbol for carbon monoxide?
The symbol for carbon monoxide is CO. Carbon monoxide contains one carbon atom (C) and one oxygen atom (O).
What do you get if you combine one carbon atom with three oxygen atoms?
A molecule containing one Carbon atom and three Oxygen atoms, CO3, is called Carbon Trioxide. It is unstable and normally decays into carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Is an asymmetric carbon atom attached to four different atoms or groups?
By definition, an asymmetric carbon atom is one that is bonded to four different types of atoms or groups, hence, only one can be a hydrogen atom. If there were two hydrogen atoms you would not have four different kinds of atoms.
What do you mean by 1 atom of Carbon and 1 gram atom of Carbon?
One atom of carbon is one atom of carbon. One gram atom of carbon is the atomic weight (14 in the case of carbon) in grams, so it would be 14 grams of carbon.
Why carbon monoxide is or is not an atom?
Carbon monoxide is a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one carbon atom.
Is there more than one atom in carbon monoxide?
Yes. carbon monoxide is CO and has one carbon atom and one oxygen atom.
Is carbon monoxide an atom?
Yes. One carbon atom is bonded to one oxygen atom by two covalent bonds and one coordinate covalent/dative bond, to form a complete molecule.
Is carbon dioxide molecule made of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom?
No. One carbon dioxide molecule is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
What is the chemical forumla for carbon monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide is CO That is, one carbon atom, one oxygen atom.
A carbon compound that contains oxygen between two hydrocarbon groups is known as a what?
Ethers are carbon compounds that don't contain alcohol, but contain one oxygen atom (O) between two hydrocarbon groups.
What do you mean by 1 atom carbon and 1 gram of carbon?
one gram of carbon* Avogdo's number =number of atom (many atom) one atom of carbon mean carbon have a 6 electron and 12 molar mass
What is the difference in carbon that has an atomic mass of 12 and one that has an atomic mass of 14?
A carbon atom with a mass of 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus. This configuration is stable. A carbon atom with a mass of 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus, making it somewhat heavier. This configuration is unstable and the nucleus will eventually emit an electron, converting the carbon atom into a nitrogen atom with 7 protons and 7 neutrons in the nucleus.
What is the formula for carbon monoxide?
CO because Carbon Monoxide means one carbon atom for one oxygen atom.
