Which statements accurately describe carbon? Check all that apply.
Answers
The best answer is D.
Carbon has an affinity for bonding with other small atoms including other carbon atoms, via the formation of stable covalent bonds.
In spite of the fact that carbon is present in a vast number of compounds, carbon is weakly reactive compared to other elements.
It has the ability to form very long chains of strong and stable interconnecting C-C bonds. This property allows carbon to form an almost infinite number of compounds. There are more known carbon-containing compounds than all the compounds of the other chemical elements combined except those of hydrogen because almost all organic compounds contain hydrogen as well.
Carbon forms millions of know compounds.
Explanation:
And it is also right about Carbon bonds with oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus.
Carbon is the only element that can form many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just right, small sized to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.
Are there supposed to be choices?
Something that describes a carbon atom would be that carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms.
B) Carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms
is correct
C. Carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms.
Carbon stored in plants reaches the atmosphere via cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions that allows plants to convert the energy from nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and then release the waste products. The energy from the glucose molecules is broken down into ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are also required to convert the nutrients into ATP. In our case, carbon and oxygen are waste products so they are released into the atmosphere via the pores underneath the leaf of a plant or tree.
Carbon atoms can bond to other Carbon atoms. Almost indefinitely. Each has four electrons available to bond, and so Carbon atoms bond with each other in large, complex structures (like diamond).
Carbon is the sixth most abundant element in the planet. Without carbon, life will be non-existent. It provides the framework for all living organisms on Earth. A carbon atom is composed of six protons and six neutrons. Carbon is found in almost everything that surrounds us; they are in fuels, coals, natural gas, even the proteins that make-up hair and meat contain carbon. This is mainly because carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms to make a compound. It is naturally found in the environment and its abundance fits its purpose in our existence.

Don't quote me on this but i believe it is b.) when carbon atoms bond to other carbon atoms, they can only form triple bonds
Hello there!
The answer is A. Carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms. In fact, carbon has four electrons to form four bonds with other atoms, including carbon. Carbon is the most common and used element in the world because it makes up all living things. All four main macromolecules also contain carbon.
