Summarize the bonding properties of carbon

1 answer:

4 0

Well, Carbon has 4 Valence Electrons. I'm sure you know this, but valance electrons allow electrons to covalently bond with one another. The elements, when sharing the electrons, want to have 8 valance electrons. So carbon has 4 valance electrons so it can bond with itself, or another say 4 hydrogen [becuase hydrogen can live with 2 valance electrons]. Hope this helps. Remember: Electrons <3 8 valance electron bonds Carbon's 4 + Carbon's 4= 8 true love at first bond! OR Carbon's 4+ Hydrogen's 1 [x4] = 8 hope this help

Answer:

Explanation:

In a lake, oxygenic phototrophs produce new organic material as well as O₂. If primary production rates are very high, the resultant excessive organic matter production can lead to bottom-water O₂ depletion from respiration and the development of anoxic conditions. This in turn stimulates anaerobic metabolisms, including anaerobic respirations and fermentations.

Organic matter that is not consumed in surface layers sinks to the depths and is decomposed by anaerobes.
