Answer:Carbon compounds are compounds having carbon as an essential element. These have generally covalent bonding.

There are many types of carbon compounds on the basis of the other elements, but the most important of them are hydrocarbons. They are compounds only made up of carbon and hydrogen. Examples can be-

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH)

Acetone [(CH3)2CO]

Butanone [ CH3C(O)CH2CH3]

Answer:

B) All carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.

Explanation:

The false statement from the given choices is that all carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.

There is a phenomenon called isotopy in chemistry.

Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

  • These atoms of elements are called isotopes.
  • Carbon atoms generally have proton number of 6 which is the same as the atomic number.
  • As with all atoms, the mass number or atomic mass equals the number of protons and neutrons.

For the isotopes of carbon, their number of neutrons differs.

 For example:

            <em>¹²₆C                           ¹³₆C                        ¹⁴₆C</em>

The number of neutrons differs in the above isotopes.

 Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number;

    ¹²₆C  , number of neutrons  = 12 - 6  = 6

      ¹³₆C, number of neutrons  = 13 - 6  = 7

       ¹⁴₆C, number of neutrons = 14 - 6  = 8

Therefore, based on the concept of isotopy, all carbon atoms do not have 6 neutrons.

Which information should be added to the chart in order find out who ran a greater distance?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Nancy and Hiyang are training for a race. They entered some of their training notes in a chart. Which information should be added to the chart in order find out who ran a greater distance?

The answer is C). the units used to measure distance each day

Explanation:

According to the question, Nancy and Hiyang are training for a race that involves them recording the distance they ran in a chart. Distance, as a quantity, is measured using different S.I units like metres, kilometers, miles, centimeters, etc.

However, in order to accurately discover whether Nancy or Hiyang ran a greater distance as recorded in their chart, the units used to measure distance each day must be included. This is because the unit of a quantity determines how big or small it is in comparison to another. For example, 20metres is not the same as 20centimetres.

If the unit they used in measuring their distance is not included, it will be impossible to tell what is being measured, talkless of who ran a greater distance
