Life on Earth is based on carbon, likely because each carbon atom can form bonds with up to four other atoms simultaneously. This quality makes carbon well-suited to form the long chains of molecules that serve as the basis for life as we know it, such as proteins and DNA.
Hope it helps uh ✌️✌️✌️
Lithium is in the Alkali Metal group or 1A column. The atoms in this group form ions with a 1+ charge. Lithium ion’s charge is 1+.
Answer:
Explanation:
Calcium chloride is <u>deliquescent.</u> If exposed to air, it will absorb sufficient water from the air to allow it to dissolve. After a short while, instead of a white lump, you will have a pool of clear liquid.
Answer:
(C) Acetylene (ethyne) can be converted to the acetylide anion by treating with a strong base such as CH₃Li.
Explanation:
Acetylene (C₂H₂) can be converted to the acetylide anion (C₂⁻²) when treated with a base because it will donate protons (2H⁺). So it will be a neutralization reaction. NaNH₂ and NaOH are strong bases because they are good electrons donators ( NaNH₂ has pair of electrons on N, and NaOH has the group OH⁻), but CH₃Li has no pair of electrons to donate, so it's not a strong base.
