Which element forms the backbone of all organic molecules?
Carbon. Organic molecules are usually made up of carbon chains or rings, with hydrogen atoms bonded to most bond sites. The molecules are distinguished by the length of the chain, the number of double or triple carbon-carbon bonds, and the other elements or ligands that might be bonded to the carbon chain or ring.
How many carbons are in cholesterol Of these how many are not contained in the rings?
There are 27 carbon atoms in a molecule of cholesterol. 10 are not contained in the rings.
Name for small bases containing one carbon nitrogen ring?
These rings are known as pyrimidines.
What is the main use for carbon?
Carbon in the form of carbohydrates is everywhere on earth's surface... Carbon is the fourth most common element in the earth's crust, mostly as carbonates Carbon would be the second most common element by weight in your body behind oxygen, and the third most common element by molar quantity behind oxygen and hydrogen. Your FOOD is basically carbohydrates. Trees, plants, and wood are almost entirely carbohydrates. Oil and its distillates are paraffins ( aka alkanes ) which are simple hydrocarbons. Plastics all contain carbon. Steel is a carbon alloy. Your pencils use graphite based pencil lead, and thus are carbon. And, of course, the most prized stones on wedding rings are virtually pure carbon. For that matter, numerous industrial diamonds (nearly pure carbon) are used in concrete saws and etc. Carbon is also concentrated in charcoals... While it may be favorites for holiday BBQs, it is also used with air or water filtration, and even treatment for poisoning. Carbon dioxide is a fundamental component of respiration for both plants and animals. Plants breathe it in and animals breathe it out.
Structural formula of p2o5?
The chemical name for the formula P2O5 is phosphorous pentoxide. It has a relatively complex structure of two rings. Each ring has multiple phosphorus atoms double bonded to oxygens.
What are three characteristics of bio-molecules?
Bio molecules are large, complex moleucles build from smaller, simpler, repeating units. Most bio molecules contain carbon atoms that are bonded together in chains and rings.
Molecules based on carbon rings can have isomers?
yes the can have isomers because of all the rings conbine together it produces the molecules to create more rings.
What are the four characteristics of all organic molecules?
Organic molecules all contain carbon, often in chains or rings. They also contain hydrogen. I can't think of any other properties common to all organic molecules. Organic substances tend to be volatile, many are combustible, and many have odours.

What are organic molecules and what do they contain?
it's a molecule of a kind normally found in living system.Organic molecules are usually composed of carbon atoms in rings or long chains, to which are attached other atoms of such elements as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
Which element forms the backbone of all organic molecules?
Carbon. Organic molecules are usually made up of carbon chains or rings, with hydrogen atoms bonded to most bond sites. The molecules are distinguished by the length of the chain, the number of double or triple carbon-carbon bonds, and the other elements or ligands that might be bonded to the carbon chain or ring.
Why are carbon atoms the most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms?
They can bond with up to 4 other elements, including itself, allowing it to form chains, branches, and rings. It can also share multiple electrons with an element (single, double, or triple bonds)
What are characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons?
Principal characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons are:- the contain benzenic rings- frequently they have an agreeable odor- they burn with soot; this is a disadvantage- the ratio carbon/hydrogen is great
Why cyclic carbon is named as aliphatic?
Only some cyclic carbon atom rings can properly be called aliphatic: those without any carbon-carbon double bonds or aromatic ring bonds. For example, cyclohexane is aliphatic, but cycolohexene and benzene, which all contain rings of six carbon atoms, are not.
What shape molecules can strings of bonded carbon atoms form?
Carbon only bonds in strings of hexagonal rings would make graphite. Molecules with a carbon "backbone" and including H,N,O and some minerals could be any protien, sugar etc.
How are organic molecules classified?
Organic molecules are typically classified by: 1) aliphatic vs. aromatic 2) number of rings or carbon atoms in chain 3) chemical moieties
Can scientists use carbon dating to estimate the age of a gold ring?
No. Carbon dating only works for things that were once alive. For that matter, gold rings contain effectively no carbon anyway.
