Carbon's special bonding ability allows it to form many different compounds.
if all 3 carbons are attached with carbonyl carbon it will be "propanamide". If one carbon is attached to the nitrogen and one with carbonyl carbon it will be "N-methyl acetamide"
Oxaloacetic acid is C4H4O5 and has four carbons
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.
there are 4 carbons in oxaloacetic acid
Think of this as H2C3H2 or HC3H3 As carbon is tetravalent and hydrogen is monovalent there must be either two hydrogens bonded to a carbon that is double bonded to another that is double bonded to the third which has the remaining hydrogens double bonded. Otherwise this must be a hydrogen bonded to a carbon that is triple bonded to another carbon which is single bonded to the third carbon which is bound to three hydrogens.
With carbon, molecular chains, known as Linear Polymeric Molecules (LPM), can form.
Butane has bonds between carbon atoms.Carbon dioxide hasn't bonds between carbon atoms.

Tetravalence, Carbons ability to form four bonds with other atoms
Tertiary carbons are carbons that are directly bonded to three other carbon atoms in a molecule. They are typically more sterically hindered and less reactive compared to primary or secondary carbons due to the presence of three alkyl groups.
one carbon atom can bond to another which gives carbon the ability to form chains that are almost unlimited in length
Carbons with carbon-carbon double bonds are called alkenes. They are unsaturated hydrocarbons characterized by the presence of at least one carbon-carbon double bond.
if all 3 carbons are attached with carbonyl carbon it will be "propanamide". If one carbon is attached to the nitrogen and one with carbonyl carbon it will be "N-methyl acetamide"
Special properties of water include its high surface tension, cohesion, and ability to expand when frozen. Special properties of diamonds include their hardness, brilliance, and thermal conductivity. Special properties of gold include its malleability, ductility, and resistance to corrosion. Special properties of magnets include their ability to attract and repel other magnets. Special properties of carbon include its ability to form diverse compounds due to its versatile bonding capabilities.
The prefixes for naming hydrocarbons are based on the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. They include: meth- (1 carbon), eth- (2 carbons), prop- (3 carbons), but- (4 carbons), pent- (5 carbons), hex- (6 carbons), hept- (7 carbons), oct- (8 carbons), non- (9 carbons), dec- (10 carbons).
