Answer:

Properties Of Carbon :

Explanation:

Carbon:

Symbol: C

Electronic Configuration: 2 , 4

Valency : 4 (Tetra-valency)

Occurrence in nature →Earth's crust → 0.02% in the form of minerals like carbonates, coal, petroleum.

In atmosphere -0.03% in carbon dioxide is ( gaseous form)

Properties of carbon:

  1. Carbon forms Covalent is bonding and Covalent compounds wwhich do not conduct electricity.
  2. Carbon has three  allotropes i.e Diamond, Graphite and Fullerenes.
  3. In diamond carbon atoms bonded together in tetrahedral lattice arrangement.
  4. In graphite carbon atoms are bonded together in sheets of hexagonal lattice.
  5. In Fullerenes ccarbon atoms are bonded together in spherical, tubular, or ellipsoidal forms.
  6. Carbon plays a major role in organic compounds.
  7. Carbon is a Tetravalency. (valency :4)
  8. So that  it is easily share the electrons so that  it gives a possibility of large number of compounds. Carbon compounds are also called as organic compounds. Carbon compounds are also called organic compounds.

Which of the following methods do scientists use to measure the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
slamgirl [31]

According to Jesse Kroll, an MIT professor of chemical engineering and civil engineering who specializes in atmospheric composition, the primary method used by scientists to quantify greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is spectroscopy. Thus, option A is correct.

<h3>What is the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?</h3>

Only 0.04% of the atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide, and water vapor levels can range from 0% to 4%. However, while being the main greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, water vapor possesses “windows” that let some infrared light pass through without being absorbed.

Therefore, find a location outside with pure, unpolluted air, then use a special kind of flask to collect an air sample.

A red blood cell has been placed into three different solutions. One solution is isotonic to the cell, one solution is hypotonic
Dmitry [639]

The type of solution in each beaker based on cell's reaction are :

  • Isotonic solution : Normal reaction
  • Hypotonic solution : The cell becomes turgid
  • Hypertonic solution : The cell becomes deformed

<h3>Matching each solution to the cell reaction </h3>

When the red blood cell is placed in an isotonic solution the solvent flows in and out of the blood cell at the same rate, when the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution the solvent flows into the cell at a faster rate causing the cell to swell ( becomes turgid ) also when the cell is placed in a hypertonic reaction the cell becomes deformed becomes it loses more water than it absorbs.

Hence we can conclude that The type of solution in each beaker based on cell's reaction are : Isotonic solution : Normal reaction, Hypotonic solution : The cell becomes turgid, Hypertonic solution : The cell becomes deformed
