Answer:
<span>Carbon readily forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.
Explanation:
As we know approximately more than 95 % compounds, either isolated, discovered or synthesized belongs to organic compounds containing carbon atoms.
This great diversity of organic compounds is due to following facts.
1) Catenation:
Carbon has a peculiar behavior of self linkage. This self linkage of one carbon with another is called as catenation. In this way carbon can form a long chain of carbon atom. A branching can also take place when one carbon is bonded further to three of four carbon atoms.
2) Isomerism:
Secondly the carbon containing compounds show isomerism. In which molecular formula is same but structural formula is different. For example molecular formula C</span>₅H₁₂ can make following compounds,
a) n-Pentane
b) 2-Methylbutane
c) 2,2-Dimethylpropane
3) Multiple Bonds:
Carbon can form multiple bonds i.e double bond like in alkenes and triple bonds like in alkyne.
Due to these factors carbon gets very high number of opportunities to form large number of compounds.
Yes, that is true. in order for it to be a redox reaction, both oxidation and reduction must be occurring.
Colligative properties depend on the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. These set of properties do not depend on the type of species present. These properties include freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure and vapor pressure lowering.
