An example of two molecules that contain carbon is compound methane ( 1 carbon bounded to four hydrogen. ) and Ethane ( two carbon atoms and four hydrogen ). Carbon is able to form so many molecules/compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms and, because of its size, it fits in nicely as part of large molecules. Hope this helps!

Answer: Catenation

Explanation:

The catenation can be defined as the the property of the carbon atom to bind to another atoms and form compounds. The carbon can combine with hydrogen to form hydrocarbon. This property helps in the formation of multiple number of carbon compounds.

Carbon can form single, double or triple bond based on the atom to which it is combining.

Example: Methane, octane, chloroform et cetera.

What food chain is represented in the above food web?
fenix001 [56]
<span>B- tree > insect > frog> snake> hawk

The food chains are represented by organisms interconnected by red arrows that point in the direction of the one that's eating. So, the relation that is explicit by the arrow is that the organism from where the arrow departs is eaten by the organism where the arrow is pointing towards to. So, the food chain that can be observed accurately in the food web is: the tree is eaten by the insect, the insect is eaten by the frog, the frog is eaten by the snake, and the snake is eaten by the hawk.

Which factors of Earth's position would contribute to long-term climate change?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

A) its elliptical orbit and tilt on its axis  

Explanation:

Earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical path. Its axis is tilted to about 23.5° from the vertical.

These two factors determine the global climate on the Earth.

Due to elliptical orbit, the earth is sometimes closer to sun than the rest of the time. When it is closer the global temperature rises by 5 degrees. Due to the tilt of the Earth, seasons occur. The hemisphere which points towards the sun has summers where as which points away has winters.

Thus, the long-term climate change is effected by elliptical orbit and tilt of the axis.
