Why is carbon said to provide a “backbone” in many molecules?(1 point)

Carbon atoms can form chains and branches with each other, and other atoms can attach to these.

Carbon atoms have long narrow shapes, allowing many other atoms to attach to them.

Carbon atoms have full shells of electrons, allowing electrical signals to pass through them easily.

Carbon atoms have half-full shells of electrons, allowing electrical signals to pass through them easily.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The carbon atom has unique properties that allow it to form covalent bonds to as many as four different atoms, making this versatile element ideal to serve as the basic structural component, or “backbone,” of the macromolecules.

Answer 2

Carbon is said to provide a “backbone” in many molecules because Carbon atoms can form chains and branches with each other, and other atoms can attach to these, therefor the correct answer is option A

What is a Chemical compound?

The chemical compound is a combination of two or more either similar or dissimilar chemical elements, for example, H₂O is a chemical compound made up of two oxygen atoms and a single hydrogen atom.

As given in the problem carbon is said to provide a “backbone” in many molecules because Carbon atoms can form chains and branches with each other, and other atoms can attach to these.

The fact that carbon atoms may share electrons with one another to build lengthy chains with other carbon atoms accounts for the enormous variety of organic molecules. Catenation is a characteristic of carbon that makes it special. By transferring their valence electrons to neighboring carbon atoms, carbon atoms can create lengthy chains.

Thus, therefore the correct answer is option A

What is chemical bonds?

A chemical bond is what holds atoms in molecules together. Electrostatic forces between positively charged atomic nuclei and negatively charged electrons, the positions of which in space are determined by quantum mechanics, generate bonds.

Atoms form chemical bonds to strengthen their outer electron shells. The chemical bonding type maximizes the stability of the atoms that form it.

Carbon forms covalent bonds with other elements or carbon atoms. Carbon compounds are extremely diverse, with sizes ranging from one to thousands of atoms.

Because carbon has four valence electrons, it can form four covalent bonds to achieve a full outer energy level.

Thus, the correct option is D.

what is pulley? How does it help in lifting weight?​

Answers

Hey there!

A pulley is a "system" that has a rope attached to carry heavy materials off the ground. Once you pull the rope, the heavy item will be carried.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

Using a pulley greatly multiplies the force of your physical efforts. A pulley with one wheel allows you to reverse the direction of your lifting force by pulling down on a rope (that's looped over the wheel), lifting your weight. ... The more wheels your rope can loop around, the more weight you will be able to lift.

the right-hand tube of the manometer is open to the atmosphere. The pump has been operated so that the mercury levels differ, as shown, by 250 mm. The density of mercury is 13 600 kg / m3. i) Calculate the pressure, in Pa, due to the 250 mm column of mercury.

Answers

Answer:

P(ressure) = d g h = density * gravity * height

P = 13600 * 9.8 * .25 = 33,300 Pa

Check:    1 atm = 76 cm = 760 mm height = 1.01 * 10E5 Pa

h = 1.01 * 10E5 / 9.8 * 13600 .758 m = 758 mm for 1 atm

250 / 758 = 1/3 atmosphere  = 33,700 Pa   close enough for estimates

(the pressure requested is 1/3 atmosphere where 1 atm = 760 mm Hg)
