Answer:

С. form chains or rings by bonding to itself and other atoms.

Explanation:

Carbon is an element in group 4 of the periodic table with unique bonding properties. Carbon posseses 4 valence electrons in its outer shell. This enables carbon to form covalent bonds with the atoms of other elements e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, hydrogen etc.

Carbon can also combine covalently with other carbon atoms i.e. C-C to form long chains and rings in a process called CATENATION. This unique property of carbon makes it the only element that can form so many different compounds.

You wish to make 250. mL of 0.20 M KCl from a stock solution of 1.5 M KCl and DI water.

The question requires us to use the dilution formula $M_iV_i=M_fV_f$ , where $M_i$ and $V_i$ are the stock concentration and volume respectively, then $M_f$ and $V_f$ are the dilute concentration and volume respectively.
