Answer:

Carbon is a highly covalent element due to the presence of four valence electrons in its outermost shell. This helps it bond covalently with other elements in various ways.

Carbon is known to be the backbone for most compounds. The carbon backbone vary in length and in the mode of bonding such as having the ability to from straight, branched, rings, double or triple bond which contibutes to the diversity and complexity of organic molecules.

vladimir2022 [97]
Since each Chlorine molecule is -1 and wants to gain an electron, 2 Chlorine atoms like to come together to form Cl2 by sharing 2 electrons each to form a single bond between the 2 atoms. Since both Chlornine has the same electronegativity, the bond is non-polar covalent since there electrons are evenly shared.

Sliva [168]

Answer ; The question is missing in some details, but here are he details ;

The two naturally occurring isotopes of bromine are

81Br (80.916 amu, 49.31%) and

79Br (78.918 amu, 50.69%).

The two naturally occurring isotopes of chlorine are

37Cl (36.966 amu, 24.23%) and

35Cl (34.969 amu, 75.77%).

Bromine and chlorine combine to form bromine monochloride, BrCl.

Which of the following correctly describes the law of conservation of energy
egoroff_w [7]
Mass and energy can not be created or destroyed, they may be able to just be converted, and neither one seems without the opposite. For this reason in closed systems, both mass and energy are conserved individually. " I hope this helps "

Summary of a trade-off between. Potential and kinetic energy
uranmaximum [27]
Simply put, Potential energy is the "build up". If I had a ball on the top a 5ft slide, it would have potential energy, as long as it hasn't slid down yet.

If I had another ball on a 10ft slide, it would have twice the potential energy the first ball had.

What comes next is kinetic energy, which is the energy used when the object is moving, like the ball as it goes down the slide. The faster it moves, the more kinetic energy. 

Basically, <em>Potential</em> is the "build up" but it does not, I repeat does not move.

<em>Kinetic</em> energy is the use of the "build up" through movement.
