What form flat layers of cabon atoms?

Graphene is a form of flat layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure. It is a single layer of carbon atoms, one atom thick, and has unique properties such as high conductivity and strength.


What kinds of bonds can carbon atoms form?

A double carbon bond is a covalent bond. Also carbon atoms can form double bonds. Carbon shares electrons with other atoms.


Does graphite form a tetrahedral network?

No, graphite does not form a tetrahedral network. Graphite has a layered structure composed of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms that are covalently bonded within the layer, but weakly bonded between the layers.


Which one of these is true about graphite?

Graphite is a form of carbon where the carbon atoms are arranged in a layered structure, giving it lubricating properties and electrical conductivity.


What bonds does carbon atoms tend to form?

Carbon atoms tend to form covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and with atoms such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and halogens. Carbon can also form double and triple bonds with other carbon atoms or heteroatoms, giving rise to a wide variety of organic compounds.


What is carbon plus oxygen atoms?

Carbon and oxygen atoms can chemically combine to form carbon dioxide (CO2).


What sorts of bonds can carbon use?

Carbon atoms form covalent bonds with other carbon atoms, and with other nonmetals, such as carbon and oxygen, or carbon and hydrogen.


Does Carbon Atoms form more bonds that other atoms?

yes


Why can you build larger molecules with carbon?

Carbon atoms readily link to one another to form a chain


What form does all the carbon atoms of glucose eventually end up in?

After the glucose is eaten and digested and metabolized, the carbon atoms in the glucose will wind up in the form of carbon dioxide.


Is a carbon atom combines with two oxygen atoms to form carbon dioxide a physical change?

No, the combination of a carbon atom with two oxygen atoms to form carbon dioxide is a chemical change because the atoms are rearranging to form a new substance with different properties.


An element whose atoms can make straight chains branched chains and rings chains?

Carbon is the element that can form straight chains, branched chains, and ring structures due to its ability to form covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and different types of atoms. This versatility allows carbon atoms to form a wide variety of complex and diverse organic molecules.
