Answer:
С. form chains or rings by bonding to itself and other atoms.
Explanation:
Carbon is an element in group 4 of the periodic table with unique bonding properties. Carbon posseses 4 valence electrons in its outer shell. This enables carbon to form covalent bonds with the atoms of other elements e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, hydrogen etc.
Carbon can also combine covalently with other carbon atoms i.e. C-C to form long chains and rings in a process called CATENATION. This unique property of carbon makes it the only element that can form so many different compounds.
Plants, animals and bacteria
Answer:
covalent bonds
Explanation:
Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell.
(if it is still confusing i have another way of explaining so jus let me know :)
Answer: Halogens tend to attract electrons when bonding (Option C)
Explanation: Halogens being non metals have greater electronegativities hence, attract electrons and making the statement disputed. Nobel gases are highly stable; this explains why they are nonreactive. They do not form chemical bonds because they only have a little tendency to either gain or lose an electron; on the other hand, halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet.
Answer: B. It is an ether because it is unable to to form a hydrogen bond, so it is less soluble than water
Explanation: Alcohols
are more soluble in water as they can form hydrogen bonding with water whereas ethers
are less soluble as they do not form hydrogen bonds with water.
For formation of hydrogen bond, the electronegative atom (F, Oand N) must be attached to hydrogen and in ethers (ROR), there is no hydrogen directly attached to electronegative oxygen atom, thus are less soluble in water.
