Why does covalent bonding not happen in solids?

Covalent bonding can occur in solids, such as in diamond where each carbon atom forms covalent bonds with four other carbon atoms. However, in some solids, like metals and ionic compounds, the bonding is mainly metallic or ionic, respectively, due to the different types of interactions between atoms.


What happen to pyruvate when absent of oxygen?

In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate is converted into lactate through a process called fermentation. This allows for the regeneration of NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen.


What would happen if you took carbon dioxide away from the process of photosynthesis?

If carbon dioxide is removed from the process of photosynthesis, plants would not be able to produce glucose, their primary source of energy. This would lead to a decrease in plant growth, ultimately affecting the entire food chain as plants are a critical source of energy for other organisms.


What would happen if you breathed in too much carbon dioxide?

Air contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other compounds. We take carbon dioxide into our lungs all the time, but our lungs keep the oxygen. However, if you were in a room with ONLY carbon dioxide, you would die--not from carbon dioxide per se, but from lack of oxygen.


Do carbons form four ionic bonds in its compound?

No, carbon typically forms covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds in its compounds. Carbon is more likely to share electrons with other atoms to complete its valence shell rather than gaining or losing electrons to form ions.

What can happen over millions of years to the carbon compuonds in organisms that die and decompose?

Generally carbon compounds are completely destroyed by chemical degradation, microorganisms, insects etc. In some conditions of pressure, temperature, lack of oxygen organic wastes were transformed in oil, coal, methane.

Does a chemical reaction happen in burning and respiration?

Yes, most carbon containing compounds or pure carbon burn 'chemically' to produce carbond dioxide.


What organism does photosynthesis happen in?

plantIt takes place in photoautotrophic organisms. They undergo it to get energy and carbon


What would happen if all the decompose-rs are removed the carbon cycle?

In the absence of decomposers from carbon cycle heaps of organic matter will accumulate. This will ultimately disturb the natural balance.


Why does CO2 happen?

CO2 (carbon dioxide) is produced when plants or animals oxidize carbon compounds to produce metabolic energy, when carbon compounds are burned, or it can be released by volcanoes, or when acids contact carbonate rocks. In th case of respiration or fire the reaction is C+O2 -->CO2


Why is air needed to burn?

Burning is a rapid oxidization of carbon compounds. Air is the primary source of oxygen for this process to happen.
