Which element is considered the foundation for making organic compounds

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rasek [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Carbon

Explanation: Organic compounds are those made by carbon atoms that link to other carbon or elements such as nitrogen, hydrogen or oxygen with covalent bonds.

The presence of these compounds were associated with living things, because most of them are produced by plants or animals. However nowdays substances like polymers and other synthetically made molecules can also be considered as organic since they are made of carbon.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The correct option is  2.No, because only electrons are involved in bonding.

Explanation:

The type of bond formed by carbon and nitrogen (carbon-nitrogen bond) is covalent bond

Also known as molecular bond, a covalent bond involves the sharing of pairs of electrons (known as bonding pairs or shared pairs) between the carbon and nitrogen atoms forming stable, balanced forces in attraction and repulsion as they share common electrons in their compounds.

This electron sharing covalent bond is what enables the formation of the several compounds between carbon and nitrogen for example, in an amine, nitrogen which has five electrons, has two remaining electrons that forms a lone pair whereby it can combine further with other elements.

Hence the factor that influences the bonds to make the numerous organic molecules is the available electrons which constitutes the shared electron pairs in covalent bonds while the neutrons which function is to keep the repulsive forces of positively charged protons from ripping the nucleus apart.
