Talk to whomever asked this question. Let them know that there is more than one element that does this.
What most people think when they think of chains of atoms is carbon. But silicon also forms long chain molecules. This is not an obscure fact; it's very well known and the basis of products all around you, like hair conditioners and bathtub caulk.
What else can I help you with?
What is produced when an element is completely burned in oxygen?
When an element is completely burned in oxygen, it forms an oxide. The specific oxide produced depends on the element. For example, carbon burned in oxygen forms carbon dioxide, sulfur forms sulfur dioxide, and iron forms iron(III) oxide.
Magnesium with oxygen what symbol of element?
The symbol for the element magnesium is Mg, and for oxygen it is O. When magnesium reacts with oxygen, it forms magnesium oxide (MgO).
Is oxygen a negative charge?
As an element oxygen is neutral, but it forms negative ions.
Is copper still an element when it reacts with oxygen?
Yes, copper is still an element when it reacts with oxygen. The reaction forms copper oxide, but the copper atoms remain unchanged.
Is oxygen a base?
No. Oxygen is an element and, in terms of acidity and alkalinity is neutral.
What is produced when an element is completely burned in oxygen?
When an element is completely burned in oxygen, it forms an oxide. The specific oxide produced depends on the element. For example, carbon burned in oxygen forms carbon dioxide, sulfur forms sulfur dioxide, and iron forms iron(III) oxide.
Is oxygen a charged?
As an element oxygen is neutral, but it forms negative ions.
Is oxygen anion or cation?
Oxygen is an element. It normally forms anions.
Magnesium with oxygen what symbol of element?
The symbol for the element magnesium is Mg, and for oxygen it is O. When magnesium reacts with oxygen, it forms magnesium oxide (MgO).
Is water and oxygen a compound?
No. Water is a compound. Oxygen is an element. Oxygen dissolved in water forms a mixture.
Is oxygen an element compound or mixture?
its an element. It is usually encountered as O2. There are other allotropic forms the best known is O3 ozone.
Is oxygen a negative charge?
As an element oxygen is neutral, but it forms negative ions.
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.
Is oxygen is element or compound?
Oxygen is both a compound and an element. In nature, Oxygen forms bonds with itself to form a compound consisting of two elemental oxygen atoms to form one compounded oxygen molecule. This is O2.
What element forms an ion with an electronic configuration of Ne and a -2 Charge?
Oxygen
Is oxygen a mixture or a compound?
Neither. Oxygen is an element. In the air it forms a mixture with nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.
What is formed when an element is burned in air or oxygen?
When an element is burned in air or oxygen, it forms oxides. The type of oxide formed depends on the reactivity of the element with oxygen. For example, carbon forms carbon dioxide while magnesium forms magnesium oxide.
