What features of the element carbon allow it to form the bckbone of such a varied array of different compounds?
Carbon has only 4 valence electrons. It would need four other elements to bond to it in order for it to be stable. The tetrahedryl structure that it creates by having these four elements is extremely stable and allows the molecule to be fairly stable in any conditions. It can also create double bonds with itself and other nonmetals.

How can two coumpounds made from the same element be so different?
Because the proportions of the elements are different in the different compounds. They may contain the same elements, but the different proportions make them different compounds with different properties.
Is mud a element compound or a mixture?
Mud is a mixture. It contains different types of elements. There can be different compounds too.
What element forms more compounds than any other element and compounds containing it are called organic compounds?
uranis has the most compounds
Can two compounds combine and form an element Science homework please help?
No, two compounds cannot combine to form an element. Compounds are composed of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. Elements, on the other hand, are pure substances made up of only one type of atom.
Are isotopes related to compounds?
Not directly. Isotopes are different forms of an element having different numbers of neutrons in their nucleus. But as different isotopes have the same chemical properties, they all can form the same compounds which function the same chemically.
Is granite a element or compounds?
Granite is a compound composed of different minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. It is not an element but a mixture of different compounds.
What is the difference of a element and a compounds?
An element is composed of only one type of atom. Compounds are composed of different types of atoms (different elements) that are chemically combined.
Is tea a mixture or a compound or a element?
Tea is a mixture of different compounds, such as water, caffeine, and various flavoring compounds. It is not a pure element or compound itself.
Is pure acid an element?
No. There are many different types of acid, all of which are compounds.
How can two coumpounds made from the same element be so different?
Because the proportions of the elements are different in the different compounds. They may contain the same elements, but the different proportions make them different compounds with different properties.
Is gravel a compound a element or a element?
Gravel is a mixture of different compounds and elements, such as rocks, minerals, and organic materials. It is not a single compound or element itself.
Why are their more compounds then elements?
Compounds constructed from element. Just for Carbon and Hydrogen element it could make bazillion of compound. We have 110 different type of building block and imagine how many way we can combine these 110 element to compound.
Is mud a element compound or a mixture?
Mud is a mixture. It contains different types of elements. There can be different compounds too.
Does an element consists of two or more different compounds?
NO a compound is made up of two or more different elements.
Which one of the following is an element salt silicon ammonia carbon monoxide?
Silicon is the element. Others are compounds of different elements.
Why don't compounds have the same chemical properties that form them?
Because an element is an element and a molecule is a molecule; they are different chemical entities and of course they have different chemical and physical properties.
Is milk a compound mixture or element?
Milk is a mixture. It contains several different compounds, and those compounds are made up of many different elements.
