How many available covalent bonds does Carbon have
4
Can carbon form strong bonds with itself?
Yes; it allows the formation of long carbon chains, which can be straight or branched with many combinations
What’s another name for a polymer, and what is it
Macromolecule, it is a large molecule formed from repeating subunits of smaller molecules
What are proteins, DNA, and starch
Polymers
Try explaining Dehydration Synthesis
Notes for it:
-this process forms large molecules from small molecules
-in process, water is produced as a byproduct. It’s also how two amino acids form a dipeptide
