Answer:
Some metals can be extracted from compounds by heating with carbon atom because they are less reactive than carbon and some metals cannot be extracted because they are more reactive than carbon atom.
Explanation: If the metal is less reactive than carbon atom so the carbon atoms make bond with oxide or other atom present with metal and the metal is free from that oxide or that element. But if the reactivity of metal is higher than carbon is unable to remove the oxide or element.
Answer:
Carbon has a total of four bonded pairs of electrons around it.
Explanation:
Since there are four "lines" around the C (which stands for Carbon), we can conclude that Carbon has a total of four bonded pairs of electrons around it.
Single bonds are those that bond with one atom, and sigma bonds are the strongest type of covalent bonds that are single bonded.
That means NO, not all single bonds are sigma bond, but all sigma bonds are single bonds.
