49. Why are carbon atoms able to form many organic compounds? What special characteristics
does it possess?
Carbon can form many compounds because it can strongly bond with other elements. Carbon is
a reactive element that forms continuous bonds and long chains. It also shares electrons. 6 pts

50. Why does salt dissolve in water? Why does oil not mix with water? Differentiate the physical
properties of salt and oil.
It is dissolves in water because of the charges, the positively charged ions of water attracts the
negative ions of salt and vice versa. Oil does not mix with water because it is non-polar and
both differ in density which allows the oil to float only. 4 pts
