Carbon can bond to itself to form which of the following?

Chemistry
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago
4 0

B

Carbon has 4 valence electrons that can be involved in the formation of a covalent bond. This is why it can form various types of bonds with itself or other elements. Depending on the number of valence electrons involved in the binding, the bond can be a single, double or triple bond.

Explanation:

Remember the atoms sharing electrons in a covalent bond are aimed at achieving stable electron configuration. Carbon (2.4) being in the middle of the 2nd period seeks to be either 2 or 2.8.

This is why carbon based structures can vary so much due to the large variability in which the carbon atoms can bond. Remember carbon is the same element that forms graphite, diamond, and coal.

Choose all that apply. Solids, liquids, and gases can be distinguished by their:molecular weight shape temperature kinetic energ
vesna_86 [32]
So, we have:
- molecular weight
- shape
- temperature
- kinetic energy
- mass
- density

Let's rule out the different options.
- molecular weight: Say you have a molecule of H2O. H2O can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but its molecular weight never changes throughout (It's still the same molecule, no matter what phase it is in). We can rule this out.

- shape: Let's pretend we have three identical closed containers, and we fill each one halfway with water, blocks of ice cubes, and water vapor. In the container with water, you will see that the water takes the shape of the container, but doesn't fill the entire container up. The ice cubes will stay ice cubes, assuming they don't melt, so they don't take the shape of the container. The vapor will fill up the entire container. Since all three are different, I would say yes, this could be a distinguishable feature.

- temperature: In general, I would say no, because every element/molecule has different boiling points and different vaporization points. So if you have a liquid at 5°C, you could also have a different element in solid form at 5°C. But if you're comparing a single type of molecule, it would have a boiling point and a vaporization point, so you <em>would</em> be able to tell between them.

- kinetic energy: Kinetic energy refers to how much movement there is in respect to each molecule. In solids, the molecules are packed tightly together and can't move very much, so they have lower kinetic energy. In liquids, they are less packed, but still restricted. And in gases, they can fly freely, so they will have much more kinetic energy than liquids or solids. This one's a yes.

- mass: No matter what form, there are still the same amount of molecules, and each molecule has the same mass as before. It won't change.

- density: Since the molecules are more spread out in gases, it will be less dense. Liquids will be more dense, and solids will have the greatest density. So, yes.

Conclusion: shape, kinetic energy, density, (and temperature if it's talking about a single type of molecule)

What is the likely impact of water's high specific heat on life on Earth? (3 points)
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Marine life is least affected by the temperature fluctuations of the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The high specific heat capacity of water means that it takes much more energy to raise the temperatures of water by one (1) degree than land. This means that on a hot sunny day, land temperatures would increase dramatically while ocean temperatures would only rise slightly. Conversely,  at night, the land cools rapidly while oceans cool slowly hence the temperatures drop slightly.
