What are four characteristics of carbon?

Carbon is defined by its atomic structure, as well as its chemical properties which allow it to burn oxygen. It is also allotropic, meaning that it can exist in many forms. Lastly, it's capable of catenation, which means it can form carbon chains.


What is formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements?

A compound is formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements. These elements chemically bond together in fixed ratios to create a substance with unique properties different from the individual elements.


What chemical elements make up fat?

carbon,hydrogen and oxygen Edit suggestion: The stuff that combine to form fats and oils, not the smart answer. Like for example, Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen with few other elements form amino acids, which combine to form numerous kinds of proteins. An answer like that is preferred. Please do not resort to smart answers that don't get anyone anywhere.


What is a substance formed by the combination of two or more elements in definite proportions?
