How many major reservoirs does carbon move between? A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 2

1 answer:

8 0

Carbon can also bond with other four atoms because of its outer shell (valence shell) that has four electrons. This is the reason why organic molecules can be so large because of this bonding. Suppose you have a compound of CCl4. You know that chlorine can only share 1 electron because 7 of its electrons are filled. Also, in carbon, it can only share 4 electrons because 4 of it are already filled. That is why carbon needs four chlorine to form CCl4. The answer is letter B.

How do atoms make molecules?

bazaltina [42]

Explanation:

Atoms can join together - they form bonds together - to make MOLECULES. ... For example, a hydrogen atom forms one bond, an oxygen atom forms two, and carbon forms four bonds. Look at that molecule of water again - each hydrogen has one bond, and the oxygen in the middle has two bonds. Molecules can be much bigger.

The equations given in the problem introduction can be added together to give the following reaction: overall: N2O4→2NO2 However

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Reverse the $2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$ reaction

Explanation:

Reactions:

$2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

Overall:

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

As can be seen, in the overall reaction we have $N_2O_4$ in the reactants like in the second reaction and $NO_2$ in the products. The $NO_2$ is in the first reaction but as a reactant so we need to reverse that reaction:
