The carbon atom and its bonds in inorganic and organic molecules

Question

Explain how the structure of the carbon atom affects the type of bonds it forms in inorganic and organic molecules.

I need help with my summer research.

Answer 1

In organic and inorganic compounds Carbon has 4 electrons available to form covalent bonds. They are best spaced in the shape of a tetrahedron.

Answer 2

Carbon has a valency of 4, it forms organic compounds with the bond s

C-H and can form very complex molecules and chains. It is capable of bonding to nearly anything both electronegative and electropositive. Is capable of forming double and triple covalent bonds. The reactions are relatively slow thus they are controllable. Carbon is capable of forming optical isomers as it can bond to 4 different groups or atoms. Carbon moleculs form a tetrahedron shape. Radio active isotopes of carbon are used for studying chemical reactions and processes. Hope its enough points for you to use good luck!!!!
