State each of the following statement true or false? A. A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds. B. A carbon atom has s

ix electrons in its outermost shell. C. The bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a polar bond. D. Oxygen and nitrogen have a stronger electronegativity than carbon (e.g., a strong pull on a shared electron). E. Bonds between carbon and other atoms are relatively unstable and readily dissociate, resulting in the formation of new molecules. F. The carbon backbone of a molecule is made up of a string of carbon atoms held together with either single or double bonds. G. The carbon backbone of a molecule comes in a variety of shapes: linear, ring-like, or highly branched. H. Carbon is a relatively large atom allowing it to bind to more atoms than smaller atoms would, thereby making it more versatile.

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

A. A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds. True

B. A carbon atom has six electrons in its outermost shell. False, a  carbon atom only has 4 electrons in its outermost shell.

C. The bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a polar bond. True

D. Oxygen and nitrogen have a stronger electronegativity than carbon (e.g., a strong pull on a shared electron). True, carbon electronagativity is 2.55, while oxygen and nitrogen electronegativities are 3.44 and 3.04.

E. Bonds between carbon and other atoms are relatively unstable and readily dissociate, resulting in the formation of new molecules. False, carbon bonds are very stable.

F. The carbon backbone of a molecule is made up of a string of carbon atoms held together with either single or double bonds. True, carbon can form strings with single, double or triple bonds.

G. The carbon backbone of a molecule comes in a variety of shapes: linear, ring-like, or highly branched. True, carbon molecules can form a great variety of shapes.

H. Carbon is a relatively large atom allowing it to bind to more atoms than smaller atoms would, thereby making it more versatile. False, carbon atom is a small molecule.

An average bushel of apples has a mass of 10 kg and contains 5 dozen apples.
Alina [70]

Answer:

Average mass of 6 apple  = 1 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Average mass of 5 dozen apple = 10 kg

Find:

Average mass of 6 apple

Computation:

Average mass of 6 apple  = [Average mass of 1 apple] x [6 apple]

Average mass of 6 apple  = [10/(12 x 5)] x [6]

Average mass of 6 apple  = 1 kg
