Why is a lot of energy needed to produce free carbon atoms from solid carbon?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
carbon in solid form, forms 4 covalent strong bonds with other carbons (giant lattice structure) these bonds require a high amount of energy to break them.

What kind of atoms are in nuclear energy?
A fission of energy atoms generating nuclear energy that is used to produce electricity.
What relationships are needed to convert 1.5 grams of carbon to the number of carbon atoms?
molar mass and Avogadro's number
Does the mix of HCL and zinc produce carbon dioxide?
HCl and Zn lack the one carbon and two oxygen atoms that make up CO2 (carbon dioxide) Therefore, they cannot produce carbon dioxide in any condition.
Because carbon has four electrons in its outer energy level it can do what?
it can react with up to four other atoms to form covalent bonds(:
What is the process by which low energy carbon compounds are transformed into high energy carbon compound?
photosynthesis, it takes one atom of carbon (CO2) and combines it with other carbon atoms and water to make glucose (C6H12O6)
How many oxygen atoms are needed to produce carbon dioxide and water?
CO2 and H2O has 1 carbon, 2 hydrogens and 3 oxygens.
An atmospheric gas made up of one carbon atom for each two oxygen atoms?
Carbon dioxide. One carbon for every two oxygen atoms means carbon dioxide. Plants take in water, carbon dioxide, and energy from the sun to produce glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.
What kind of atoms are in nuclear energy?
A fission of energy atoms generating nuclear energy that is used to produce electricity.
Where is the energy in a glucose molecule stored?
The energy in a glucose molecule is stored in the bonds between the atoms.
It would be easy to separate the carbon atoms in diamond?
Each carbon atom in diamond is bonded to its neighbor by four covalent bonds. A lot of energy is needed to separate carbons atoms in diamond, as indicated by its high melting point and hardness.
Atoms are spilt to produce what?
Nuclear Energy
Where is energy from glucose contained?
Energy in glucose is contained in the chemical bonds between the atoms, mostly in the carbon-carbon bonds. during the oxidation of glucose oxygen atoms are inserted into the carbon-carbon bonds. Since the oxygen-carbon bonds exist at a lower energy level than the carbob-carbon bonds, the excess energy is released.
The minimum amount of unstable atoms needed to produce an uncontrolled chain reaction is called?
The minimum amount of unstable atoms needed to produce an uncontrolled chain reaction is called?
Do plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis?
YesCarbon dioxide is needed to get carbon. Carbon atoms of glucose are from CO2
How many carbon dioxide molecules are needed to produce 3 molecules of glucose?
Each glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms. Thus we need 18 molecules of CO2 to make 3 molecules of glucose.
What is carbon's role in organic molecules?
It's the glue that holds everything together. Carbon can form long chains, which atoms can attach to the sides of, thus creating hugely complex molecules.
Through photosynthesis a simple sugar is produced. Where do the carbon atoms come from to produce this sugar molecule?
carbon dioxide
