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.

Which of the following statements about enthalpy is true?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:    A chemical process must occur and then changes between the state of the reactants and the state of the products can be determined

Explanation:  Enthalpy represents the sum of the energy of the system with the product of the pressure and volume of that system. As a thermodynamic property, it expresses the ability to release heat from the system. In fact, enthalpy  tells us how much heat and work has changed during the chemical reaction under constant pressure. When measuring, measurements of the difference in enthalpy between the two states of the system is performed, before and after the chemical reaction, since total enthalpy can not be measured. This measurement of the enthalpy change can tell us, for example, whether the heat was released from the system during the reaction, or the system absorbed the heat.
