All organic compounds are covalently bonded?
The backbone of organic molecules consists of covalently bonded carbon atoms. A macromolecule is composed of smaller units called monomers.
Which of the following is not attached to the central carbon atom in an amino acid?
an oxygenThe central carbon atom in an amino acid is bonded to an amino functional group, a carboxyl functional group, a side chain, and hydrogen.
What are the sub units DNA is made of?
DNA and RNA are polymers composed of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogen base, and a phosphate group covalently bonded together. The 5-carbon sugar in a DNA nucleotide is deoxyribose, and the 5-carbon sugar in RNA is ribose.
Which element is present in all the large macromolecules in the human body?
All the macromolecules in the human body are basically Carbon covalently bonded to other elements- mostly Hydrogen, Oxygen and other carbon atoms. There are other elements, but they don't appear in all of the body's macromolecules.It is Carbon.
Are the reactants of photosynthesis organic or inorganic?
I think what you're asking is, are the materials autotrophic eukaryotes (multicellular organisms that are able to produce their own glucose for energy), like most plants that use photosynthesis to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water, considered inorganic compounds? sunlight H20+CO2---------> C6H12O6 + O2 the best answer I found was, "Organic compounds are actually compounds containing carbon covalently bonded with a hydrogen. You can say carbon is the main thing here. Compounds of carbon [except oxides, carbonates, bicarbonates] are termed as organic. Water does not contain a carbon atom. So it is inorganic. Carbon dioxide is considered by chemists as inorganic, along with carbon monoxide, carbonates and bicarbonates. Nature has not distinguished compounds into inorganic and organic compounds that clearly. These compounds of carbon are just assumed to be inorganic. Also there is that one thing about carbon being covalently bonded with hydrogen in organic compounds. Due to that criteria carbon dioxide is considered inorganic. But actually there is no clear reason."
Which compound does CCl4 bonded to covalent or ionic bond?
CCl4 is carbon tetrachloride. It is covalently bonded.
Is carbon dioxide metal?
No. Carbon dioxide is a covalently bonded compound that is very different from a metal.
Do non metals covalently bond?
Yes, for instance carbon dioxide (structure: O=C=O) is covalently bonded.
Is Carbon tetrahydride a ionic or covalent bond?
CH4, methane is covalently bonded
A covalently bonded compound that contains carbon excluding carbonates and oxides?
organic compound
How is carbon dioxide bonded?
The two oxygens bond to the carbon covalently (double bonds) and form a linear molecule.
What is a compound that does not contain covalently bonded carbon?
This is one of the most common definitions of "inorganic" compounds.
What are the raw materials in silicon carbide?
If you mean the elements, they are silicon and carbon covalently bonded together.
Various kinds of atoms or clusters of them covalently bonded to a carbon backbone are termed?
Functional groups
Are Organic compounds covalently bonded and they always contain oxygen?
False; they always contain Carbon
How many carbon atoms are sometime bonded together to form a ''carbon''?
skeleton
What is the structure of the carboxyl group found on fatty acids?
R-COOH An R group bonded to a carbon that is double bonded to one oxygen and bonded singly to a hydroxyl group.
