Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.
Answer:
Gaseous
Explanation:
Gasses can move freely and do not form the shape of their containers
Liquids are more free than solids, but they conform to the shape of their container
Solids are not free
Answer:
Element 1
Explanation:
The ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove electrons from the atoms.
We know that the nucleus of the atom attracts the electrons, thus, bound these electrons to the atom.
This means that as the radius decreases, the force of attraction between the nucleus and the electron will increase, therefore, the energy required to remove the electron would increase (and vice-versa).
Based on the above, the atom with the smallest radius would be the atom with the largest first ionization energy.
Hope this help :)

Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
- 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.
- 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product
- 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1
Reaction(unbalanced)
Zn+K₂CrO₄ ⇒ K + ZnCrO₄
Give coefficient
aZn+K₂CrO₄ ⇒ bK + cZnCrO₄
Zn, left=a, right=c⇒a=c
K, left=2, right=b⇒b=2
Cr, left=1, right=c⇒c=1⇒a=1
O,left=4,right=4c⇒4c=4⇒c=1
Reaction(balanced0
Zn+K₂CrO₄ ⇒ 2K + ZnCrO₄
