What is the smallest polymer monomer carbon atom or macro-molecule?
Yes, a macro-molecule is huge comparatively.
How many bonds can a single carbon have?
Carbon may have 4 bonds :)
What are the types of bond present in alkanes alkenes and alkynes?
Alkanes have only single carbon-carbon bond.Alkenes have min. a double carbon-carbon bond.Alkynes have min. a triple carbon-carbon bond.
Why is carbon important for forming there complicated molecules?
Carbon can form complex molecules because of its ability to form many bonds. Carbon in a neutral species has four single bonds, two double bonds, one triple and one single bond, or one double and two single bonds. Due to this extensive boding, carbon can form large molecules and even chains tens of thousands of atoms long (polymers).
Does carbon tetrachloride a single bond?
Yes,there are single bonds.There are four bonds.
Are carbon bonds freely rotational?
Single bonds to carbon are usually freely rotational, but double and triple bonds usually are not. Rotation can also be hindered by steric factors; the carbon-carbon single bonds in cyclopropane, for example, are not freely rotational because of the constraint of the cyclic structure.
Alkanes do not have geometric isomers because the carbon atoms in their carbon-carbon bonds are?
sp3 hybridized, which means they have tetrahedral geometry and do not allow for cis-trans isomerism. This is because the rotation around the carbon-carbon single bonds allows the molecule to freely rotate and adopt multiple conformations, resulting in no distinct geometric isomers.
Can carbon molecules rotate in a carbon carbon bond?
Yes, if it is a single (sigma bond). A double or triple (pi) bond cannot be rotated without breaking the bond.
Why can't double bonds rotate?
Double bonds cannot rotate because they have a fixed orientation due to the presence of a pi bond, which restricts the movement of the atoms involved in the bond. This rigidity prevents the bond from rotating freely like a single bond can.
Can carbon molecules rotate in a carbon-carbon bond?
Yes, carbon molecules can rotate around a carbon-carbon single bond. This rotation allows for different spatial orientations of the atoms but does not result in the breaking of the bond. Rotation around a double bond, however, is restricted due to the presence of a pi bond.
Why do saturated fatty acids have structures while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures?
Because unsaturated fatty acids have many double bonds and the atoms cannot rotate freely around those double bonds. In the saturated fatty acids, there are no double bonds (only single bonds) and so the atoms are free to rotate.
Does double bond rotate?
No, double bonds do not rotate freely like single bonds do. This is because of the presence of a pi bond, which restricts the movement of atoms around the double bond axis. Rotation around a double bond would require breaking the pi bond, which is energetically unfavorable.
Why a single carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds?
because carbon has only four electrons in the valence shell
What is a single carbon-carbon bond?
What is a single carbon-carbon bond
Which is longer carbon-carbon single or double bond?
A carbon-carbon double bond is longer than a carbon-carbon single bond because the presence of the additional pi bond in the double bond results in more electron-electron repulsions, causing the double bond to be longer in length compared to a single bond.
Is this carbon chain saturated or unsaturated C C C C?
There is only single bonds between the carbon. So it is saturated chain.
Why does hydrogen is attached to carbon molecul with single bond and not with double bond?
Hydrogen typically forms single bonds with carbon because hydrogen only has one electron to share, which pairs with one of carbon's electrons to form a single bond. In contrast, a double bond requires two pairs of electrons to be shared between atoms, which is not possible with hydrogen's single electron.
