Carbon Family (14) - includes a nonmetal (carbon), two metalloids (silicon and germanium) and two metals (tin and lead)
- vary greatly in both physical and chemical properties
- occur in nature in both combined and elemental forms
- have four valence electrons
- are relatively unreactive
- tend to form covalent compounds (tin and lead also form ionic compounds)
What else can I help you with?
What process uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
The process of photosynthesis. Plants needs water and carbon dioxide to make oxygen and glucose this is called the process of photosynthesis.
Is carbon dioxide alive?
No, carbon dioxide is not considered alive. Living things exhibit characteristics such as growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli, which carbon dioxide does not possess. Carbon dioxide is a simple chemical compound composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
What is the ductility of carbon?
Carbon is a brittle material and lacks ductility in its pure form. However, in certain forms such as carbon fiber, it can exhibit some degree of flexibility and ductility due to its unique structure and bonding characteristics.
Is there more carbon dioxide in air or your breath?
After you breathe air IN, your body uses some (but not all) of the oxygen in it. A lot of that oxygen that your body uses get converted to carbon dioxide, and it's added to the air that you breathe out. So your exhaled air has a greater concentration of carbon dioxide than fresh air has.
What type of organism uses and produces both oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Plants are organisms that use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce oxygen. They also use oxygen for respiration to break down sugars for energy.
What are the general characteristics of a plant?
A living organism which uses sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple carbohydrates.
What are some uses for carbon?
Carbon Uses are for gasoline and plastic.
What are some Carbon uses?
Carbon Uses are for gasoline and plastic.
What are bonding characteristics of carbon?
Carbon can form double bonds
What bacteriochlorophylls and uses alcohols for carbon?
Answer: A Photoheterotroph Feedback: *Energy source: -Phototroph: uses light -Chemotroph: uses redox reactions from an organic or inorganic compound *Carbon source: -Autotroph: uses CO2 -Heterotroph: uses an organic source of carbon
What characteristics do you think carbon must have?
I think that the carbon must be clear.
What characteristics do carbon 12 carbon 13 carbon 14 have in common?
They have the same number of protons and electrons.
What are the characteristics of the element carbon?
black and stuff
What are some of carbon dioxide main characteristics?
no
What are three uses of carbon?
The most common uses for carbon would include printing, pencil manufacture, and as graphite lubricant.
What type of fossil dating uses half life to determine age?
Radiocarbon dating is a technique that uses the decay of carbon-14.
What has bacteriochlorophylls and uses alcohols for carbon?
Green sulfur bacteria have bacteriochlorophylls and use alcohols such as ethanol or methanol as a carbon source for photosynthesis. They have adapted to low-light environments where they thrive by utilizing these alternative carbon sources.
