Carbon can form a wide variety of organic compounds because:
Each carbon atom covalently bonds with toms of carbon, hydrogen oxygen, and nitrogen
A carbon atom can have 4 single valence electrons around it. This allows it to form covalent bonds with many different atoms.
<h2>Let us complete it :</h2>
Explanation:
let us study about formation of sodium phosphide
Electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous
The sodium atom looses electrons and the phosphorus atoms
gains electrons .
C. This transfer makes the sodium atoms acquire positive charge and phosphorous acquire negative charge .
As a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly bond with
each other.
Answer:
protons
Explanation:
An element, by definition, always has the same number of protons. Sodium, element 11, has 11 protons. Anything with 11 protons is a sodium atom, regardless of the number of neutrons, electrons, or politicians.
