What is not true about carbon?

• Has 4 valence electrons.

• Can easily form bonds with other elements.

• Coupled with Hydrogen, there are the base elements of organic molecules.

• Can produce up to quadruple bonds.

Alcohols, Ether, Ketone, and Aldehydes are just some of the compounds with carbon as its base. These specific compounds are also called as:

• Enantiomers

• Carbon bases

Comprised of weak bonds, this bonds are temporary and can be easily disrupted by another polar compound.

• Hydrogen bonds

• Ionic bonds

• Covalent bonds

• Metal bonds

If there are 2 directional arrows present in a reaction, it means that the reaction is not reversible.

• TRUE

• FALSE

• Hypochloride ions

• Hydrostatic ions

• Hydroxyl ions

What does not belong to the group?
