A compound differs from an element in that it can be decomposed by a chemical reaction.

A compound, by definition, is made up of two or more elements that have been combined together through a chemical bond.

Thus, the chemical bond or bonds in a compound can be decomposed by a chemical reaction giving rise to the individual elements that make up the compound.

This is unlike an element that can not be decomposed by any chemical reaction.

Suppose you have an Avogadro's number of nitrogen atoms. How many grams does this represent? Enter your answer to one decimal pl
shusha [124]

Answer:

2.3 x 10-23 g.

Explanation:

The mass of a single atom is the mass number, 14, is the mass in grams of one mole of carbon.

One mole of Nitrogen atom is 6.022 x 1023 atoms (Avogadro's number). This can then used to convert a nitogen atom to grams by the ratio:

mass of 1 atom / 1 atom = mass of a mole of atoms / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms.

mass of 1 atom = mass of a mole of atoms / 6.022 x 1023

mass of 1 N atom = 14 / 6.022 x 10^23 N atoms

mass of 1 N atom = 2.325 x 10^-23 g

The mass of a single Nitrogen atom is 2.325 x 10-23 g.

What is the reason carbon atoms are the most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms?
WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

Atomic number of carbon is 6. So, 4 valence electrons are present.

Therefore, it can form 4 covalent bonds with varying bond angles by sharing its valence electrons.

Catenation is also an important property of carbon. Catenation is bonding with atoms of same element. Carbon skeleton can be formed in any direction and can vary in length, branching, and ring structure.

Elements required for making most of the molecules in living organisms are:

C, H, N, O, P and S

Carbon easily form covalents with other 5 elements.

These properties make carbon most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms.
