1 2 3 4 0
Correct The carbon atom has 4 valence electrons. Out of these, one is already occupied in the structure in a bond with a carbon. Thus, three places are available for hydrogen to form bond.
Chapter 4 Pre-Lecture Question 4 Part A The large diversity of shapes of biological molecules is possible because of the extensive presence of _____ in the molecules.
Hint 1. Consider the electron configuration of the atoms of the organic molecules found in living systems.
ANSWER:
nitrogen oxygen hydrogen sulphur carbon
Correct With four electrons to share, carbon-based molecules can be multibranching and three-dimensionally variable.
