Carbon is the main building block to most cells. It helps with cellular resperation by which your body releases energy stored in glucose and the glucose compound is composed of carbon,hydrogen and oxygen. Carbon makes up 18% of the human body. Sugars in the body like glucose hold carbon elements.

That is because carbon builds into everything as it has a great aptitude for forming bonds with other elements. It can create bonds and share electrons better than other atoms because of its properties.

The property of a substance stays ______________ no matter how the substance is used.
Irina18 [472]

Any substance changes to another substance that means the change of the physical property. Like water () has different state which changes as the temperature changes. It remain as liquid in the room temperature, in solid form at or below 0°C and vapor phase on or above 100°C. But in all the stage or phase of the substance the composition of the water i.e.  remains. Thus the chemical property remains fixed when a substance change to other substance.

Chlorine and potassium atoms form ionic bonds, carbon atoms form non-polar covalent bonds with nitrogen atoms, and oxygen forms
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

Chlorine and potassium atoms form ionic bonds: Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal.  Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of potassium = 3-0.8 = 2.2

Carbon atoms form non-polar covalent bonds with nitrogen atoms : Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms.  Electronegativity difference  = electronegativity of nitrogen  - electronegativity of carbon= 3.0-2.5 = 0.5

Oxygen forms polar covalent bonds with phosphorus: A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.  Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of phosphorous = 3.5- 2.19 = 1.31
