What is the difference between the isotope of carbon and hydrogen?
There are many differences between a hydrogen atom and a carbon atom. Most importantly, the number of protons and electrons within the atom. This is what gives atom's their characteristics. Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, while carbon is a solid at room temperature.
What is adjacent atom and bond?
The adjacent carbon atom means the carbon atom next to, or beside, the atom of interest. For example, in an aldehyde, the carbon that has the double bond to oxygen is called the carbonyl carbon. The adjacent carbon is called the alpha (α) carbon.
What element will form a double bond with oxygen making a molecule with one atom of the element and one atom of oxygen?
Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen itself all have this property.
How many electrons are found in carbon atom?
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
How is carbon atom different from a sodium atom?
hi, a carbon atom has 6 protons while sodium atom has 7 protons.
Why the life on the Earth is carbon based?
One carbon atom can be attached to other carbon atom. By this unique property of carbon, that you can get very large number of molecules. No other atom has got this property. So life without the carbon atom is not possible.
How do you use atomis mass in a sentence?
The atomic mass gives the mass of the atom. It is one of the physical property of the atom.
How many protons does C have in it?
An atom's atomic number gives its number of protons. Carbon's atomic number is 6. Thus, carbon contains 6 protons per atom.
Why is carbon such a good element to form the base of organic molecules?
The atomic number of carbon is six. Carbon has four electrons in the outer orbit. It can share the four electrons with other elements. Carbon can form the chain with other carbon atoms. Because of this unique property of the carbon atom, you have the entire organic chemistry based on this atom. You can not imagine the world without this atom.
Is carbon in the inside a atom or outside an atom?
Carbon is an atom.
What is the difference between the isotope of carbon and hydrogen?
There are many differences between a hydrogen atom and a carbon atom. Most importantly, the number of protons and electrons within the atom. This is what gives atom's their characteristics. Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, while carbon is a solid at room temperature.
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.
What property makes the carbon atom compatible?
Tetravalence, Carbons ability to form four bonds with other atoms
What is adjacent atom and bond?
The adjacent carbon atom means the carbon atom next to, or beside, the atom of interest. For example, in an aldehyde, the carbon that has the double bond to oxygen is called the carbonyl carbon. The adjacent carbon is called the alpha (α) carbon.
What element forms a double bond with oxygen making a molecule with one atom of the element and one atom of oxygen?
Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen itself all have this property.
What element will form a double bond with oxygen making a molecule with one atom of the element and one atom of oxygen?
Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen itself all have this property.
Why carbon monoxide is or is not an atom?
Carbon monoxide is a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one carbon atom.
