Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of carbon is 6. Hence, the electronic configuration of carbon is 2, 4.

This means that there are four valence electrons present in valence shell of the carbon atom. So, in order to complete its orbital and gain stability carbon will make its outermost four electrons available for sharing.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options because it has four electrons available for bonding is the best explanation for why carbon easily forms many bonds.

Answer - A because it has four electrons available for bonding 

Reasoning - Reason for this is because carbon is highly reactive!!. LOL and also since its four free electron in the outer electron shell its make its easily bondable.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

v = 5 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance covered by a runner, d = 400 m

Time, t = 80 sec

We need to find the runner's average speed. It is equal to total distance covered divided by time taken. It can be given by:

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{400\ m}{80\ s}\\\\v=5\ m/s

So, the runner’s average speed is 5 m/s.

Answer:

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria will significantly outnumber those incapable of fixing nitrogen

Explanation:

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are capable of growing in a medium lacking organic Nitrogen. They convert (fix) atmospheric Nitrogen (Nitrogen is abundant in air) into organic substrates. Hence, they will grow in the enrichment medium described. This is the kind of medium used to isolate nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Non-nitrogen fixing bacteria require an organic form of Nitrogen for growth. Hence, in a medium with no nitrogen, they will rely on the Nitrogen fixers. This means delayed growth for them.

A culture medium also has limited nutrients, so the slow growers will have little or no nutrients left.

Therefore, the Nitrogen fixers will have competitive advantage and significantly outnumber those incapable fixing nitrogen.
