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.

Answer: the question is incomplete,below is the complete question.

List two species that may be threatened by the construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert

The answers are, Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree.

Construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert will threaten the existence of Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and and Joshua tree.

Explanation: The construction of solar power towers in Mojave desert in California poses a threat to the existence of quite a number of plants.The Mojave desert houses the largest solar power plant in the world,creating the solar power tower will create job opportunities for people but at the same time endangering the existence of about 12 rare plants that are found in the region of which Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree are greatly included,these plants cannot co-exist with solar thermal mirror arrays,this brings a controversy between energy/electricity generation and wildlife/ecosystem conservation.
