Answer: Carbon is the most important element in organic compounds, which means that life on earth is possible thanks to this atom and its characteristics. Below you can see some of the ones I consider to be the most relevant

Explanation: Carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus, and that nucleus is surrounded by 6 electrons. Those electrons are distributed two in their first level (called s) and four in their second level (called p).

It is tetravalent, because it has 4 electrons orbiting its last energy level, which can be combined with other atoms, even with another carbon atom forming covalent bonds. , present in all the organic compounds.

Thanks to these electrons, it can form three hybridizations or types of junctions; single, double or triple. This is important for molecular geometry: the single bond determines the formation of a tetrahedron, with angles of 109.5 ° , the double bond determines the formation of a flat triangular structure, with 120 ° angles and the triple bond determines the formation of a linear structure, with 180.

This are some of the most importan characteristics tha make Carbon a unique element.

Answer:

I agree with Joelle.

Explanation:

Just out of common sense, not all cells are the same.

The Facts:

-Sienctists have studied and evaluated that cells in different matter have different make-ups. For instance, plant have cell walls and a cell membrane while animals (incluing humans) only have a cell membrane. Plants have a chloroplast, used to make their own food using the process photosythesis, While animals don't, an consume other living things.

Using the Table:

-I don't know if you have to fill it out or anything, but if you were to fill it out, You'd put a check under each cell part for each thing.

An astronaut is in a sleeping bag attached to a wall. When astronauts sleep in space, they sleep in small cabins or in sleeping

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Free fall.

Explanation:

When astronauts sleep in space, they sleep in small cabins or in sleeping bags that are attached to the wall or ceiling of the station. Everything is weightless as there’s no gravity in space. So while sleeping there is a chance of floating around and bumping into things. Astronauts use sleeping bags that can be tethered to the wall or ceiling to solve this problem. Also the tethered sleeping bags provide a normal sleeping environment to the astronauts as they can feel pressure on their back and head. Their sleeping cabin is well ventilated as they can wake up with breathing trouble as a result of the inhalation of their own exhaled carbon dioxide which formed around their heads as a bubble. They use earplugs and a sleep mask to block the noise and light and can sleep vertically or horizontally. Compared to earth, sleeping is a bit different in space.
