Describe how carbon skeletons may vary, and explain how this variation contributes to the diversity and complexity of organic mo

lecules.
Biology
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]2 years ago

Carbon skeletons may vary in length, shape, number and location of double bonds and other elements covalently bonded to available sites.

A carbon atom contains four valence electrons thus, exhibiting a strong tendency to make covalent bonds with other atoms so as to complete its octet. Covalent bonds join carbon atoms together in long chains that create the skeletal framework for organic molecules.

A carbon atom could be linked to as many as four additional carbon atoms in an organic compound. Carbon atoms can also quickly form double bonds (where four electrons are shared among two atoms) and triple bonds (where six electrons are shared).

This variation in carbon skeletons contributes to the diversity and complexity of organic molecules.

Translate the word phrase into an algebraic equation: the quotient of 24 and 2 is equal to 12.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

24/2 = 12

Explanation:

(I'm pretty sure this isn't a Biology question, but I'll answer this because I'm nice.)

To translate English into algebriac equations, we have to understand what the symbols in algebra mean. Here are some we should know:

= : "equal to", "is", "equivalent to", etc.

> : "greater than"

< : "less than"

>= : "greater than or equal to", "at least"

<= : "less than or equal to", "at most"

We also have to know basic math operations:

a + b : "a added to b", "a plus b", "a combined with b", "a more than b", etc.

a - b : "a minus b", "b less than a", "b subtracted from a", etc.

a * b : "a multiplied by b", "a times b", "the product of a and b", etc.

a / b : "the quotient of a and b", "a divided by b", etc.

There are MUCH MORE examples of this, yet it becomes second-nature to change English sentences into algebra.

So, let's tackle the question. Sadly, it's pretty simple, so I won't really go in depth here. Since the quotient of a and b is a/b, the quotient of 24 and 2 is 24/2. We can also say that "is equal to 12" is "= 12". So,

24/2 = 12.
