Carbon exists both as atomic carbon (a single carbon atom) and as carbon molecules (Fullerenes)
The atomic carbon is a very short lived species.
The Fullerenes (like Buckey Balls) are very stable.
Stereocenters in a molecule can be identified by looking for carbon atoms that are bonded to four different groups. These carbon atoms are called chiral centers or stereocenters, and they give the molecule the ability to exist in different spatial arrangements, known as stereoisomers.
No, C3H10 does not exist as a stable molecule. The molecular formula C3H10 corresponds to an alkane called propane which is a colorless and odorless gas at room temperature and pressure.
There are 12 carbon atoms in a molecule of maltose. Each carbon atom forms a total of four bonds, which include bonds with other carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms, or oxygen atoms. With 12 oxygen atoms present, these atoms would be accounted for in the molecular structure of maltose as well.
Does NOT exist. but CO2 is polar covalent
Noble gases, such as helium and neon, exist as single atoms due to their stable electron configurations. Oxygen and nitrogen also exist independently as diatomic molecules (O2 and N2) in the Earth's atmosphere.
Carbon is not a molecule; it is an element. An element is a substance containing only one type of atom. Carbon molecules are collections of carbon atoms. No chemical element is "good" or "bad"; they just exist.
Nah doesnt exist
Carbon starts out as a simple organic molecule, Carbon Dioxide. The leaf changes it into sugar, which is not a simple compound. It takes the sugar and changes that into a whole lot of different compounds.
A molecule of CH4 (methane) is more likely to exist in nature because it is a stable compound with all valence electrons satisfied through covalent bonding. A molecule of CH3, on the other hand, would be highly reactive due to the presence of an unpaired electron on the carbon atom, making it less likely to exist in nature.
CO2 is both a compound and a molecule. It is a compound because it is made up of carbon and oxygen which have been chemically combined. It is a molecule because carbon dioxide exist as CO2 molecules, with simple molecular structure.
No, for one thing the noble gases are all elements, carbon dioxide is a compound. Noble gasses exist as single atoms; carbon dioxide is a three atom molecule. Both carbon dioxide and its constituent elements undergo chemical reactions fairly easily. Noble gasses do not.
No, breaking up a carbon dioxide molecule into its constituent atoms (carbon and oxygen) would result in separate carbon and oxygen atoms. The molecular structure and properties of carbon dioxide would no longer exist.
RNA is always single stranded. DNA, on the other hand, can exist as either single-stranded or double-stranded.
Stereocenters in a molecule can be identified by looking for carbon atoms that are bonded to four different groups. These carbon atoms are called chiral centers or stereocenters, and they give the molecule the ability to exist in different spatial arrangements, known as stereoisomers.
Well, carbon is an element, so its smallest representative unit is an atom. A typical carbon atom consists of 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons. It is possible for carbon to exist as a molecule, however. Carbon can form what's called a "network solid," which means all the carbon atoms are bonded together, making it an extremely durable "macro-molecule." This is a diamond.
because they have more gas in them
Bcoz the qunatity of Oxygen present in the air is very high as it can't exist as a single molecule it always found in the form of Diatomic molecule that is O2
