Which explains why carbon (C) is such a versatile element?

Chemistry

miskamm [114]3 years ago

Answer:

It can form four covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Carbon is a versatile element because it forms covalent bonds i. e. Single, double, triple and ring or branched etc with other atoms. It forms only covalent bond not ionic bond because carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell. If they make ionic bond, they have to gain 4 electrons and become anion or it has to lose 4 electrons and become cation. So they prefer to make covalent bonds.

A scientist is studying the effect of climate change on a population of fur seals living on an island off the coast of Alaska. F
solniwko [45]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The only factor that would not decrease the carrying capacity of the fur seal's environment is the population of predators.

<em>The carrying capacity is defined as the maximum number of individuals of a species an environment can sustain based on the resources available. Hence,   only a fluctuation in the resources available in the environment of the fur seal can affect the carrying capacity. </em>

<u>Pollution </u>and <u>destruction of the habitat of the fur seal</u> would limit the resources available to the animals and as such, limit the carrying capacity. A <u>fluctuation in the population of prey available</u> for the population of fur seals would also affect the carrying capacity.

The only factor that has no bearing on the carrying capacity of the fur seal's environment is the population of predators. Predators have the capacity to reduce the population of fur seals but not affect the carrying capacity for fur seals.

The correct option is, therefore, A.

A 25 mL sample of 0.100 M HNO3 completely reacts with NaOH according to this equation:
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

2.5x10^–3 mole.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Volume of solution = 25mL

Molarity of HNO3 = 0.1M

Mole of HNO3 =..?

First, we'll begin by converting 25mL to L. This can be achieved by doing the following:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore, 25mL = 25/1000 = 0.025L

Now, we can obtain the number of mole of HNO3 present in the solution as follow:

Molarity = mole /Volume

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole = 0.1 x 0.025

Mole = 2.5x10^–3 mole.

Therefore, 2.5x10^–3 mole of HNO3 is present in the solution.
