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.

The silica tetrahedron that forms the backbone of all the silicate minerals is composed of silicon and what other element?
usually oxygen
Which of these is NOT a diatomic element fluorine sulfur oxygen hydrogen?
Sulfur is not diatomic. It forms S8 molecules rather than S2.
Which element forms more compounds than all the other elements combined?
Carbon is the element that forms maximum number of compounds
How does phosphorus form?
Phosphorus occur both in organic and in organic forms . Organic forms are phytin,as its derivitives,nucleic acids, phospholipids and in microbial biomass.in organic form includes rock phosohate or phosphorite
Can a molecule be an element?
Yes, some of the nonmetals (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens) form diatomic molecules (H2, N2, O2, etc.). Sulfur forms S8 molecules, phosphorus can form P4 molecules, and the ever versatile element carbon can form C60 molecules among others.
Is fluorine Molecules or element?
Fluorine is an element that forms molecules.
What atom forms the backbone of most biological molecules?
Carbon
Is oxygen the element that forms the backbone of most polymers?
False the answer is carbon not oxygen ^_^
What forms the framework for all organic molecules?
Carbon Atoms
What is the process that forms organic molecules called?
polymerization
What element forms the backbone of most polymers?
None. All elements are unique.
An organic element that forms a diamond?
Diamonds are formed from carbon.
Can forms be only organic?
Not necessarily. Many "inorganic" molecules can be created in a lab.
What element's atoms form diatomic molecules as a liquid?
Bromine is the only element that is liquid and forms diatomic molecules Br2. Mercury is also an element and is liquid but is monoatomic.
The silica tetrahedron that forms the backbone of all the silicate minerals is composed of silicon and what other element?
usually oxygen
What element forms more compounds than any other element and compounds containing it are called organic compounds?
uranis has the most compounds
Glycerol is a subnuit molecule of a?
Glycerol is a subunit molecule of a lipid. It is a three carbon alcohol that forms the backbone of most lipid molecules in the body.
