 What is the atomicity  of Carbon (C)?

Atomicity is the number of atoms of an element present in one molecule of that element.

For example, there are 2 atoms of hydrogen present in H2 molecule. So its atomicity is 2.

The gases can be

· monatomic, example: Helium (He)

· diatomic, example: hydrogen (H2)

· triatomic , example: ozone (O3)

· polyatomic, example: sulphur (S8).

 

Atomicity of carbon is 1.

Atomicity means no: of carbon atoms present in its molecule.
carbon has high catenation ability, so any no: of carbon atoms can join together to form a molecule. hence atomicity is also very high. 


If you mean atomic number, it is 6. 

If you mean atomic weight, it is 12.0107(8

Atomicity is the total number of atoms present in one molecule of an element of a substance.

Carbon IS an atom. I presume you mean how many electrons there are. There are 6 electrons, 6 protons and 6 neutrons in every un-bonded Carbon atom.

I THINK YOU NEED ASK ATOMIC MASS OR ATOMIC NUMBER. ATOMICITY IS THE NUMBER OF ATOMS CONSTITUTING AN ELEMENT. SO, CARBON IS AN ATOM ONLY.

ATOMIC MASS= 12

ATOMIC NUMBER=6

  •  Atomic mass of carbon - 12
  • Atomic number of acrbon- 6

ATOMICITY MEANS NUMBER OF CARBON ATOMS PRESENT IN ITS MOLECULES.

CARBON HAS HIGH CATENATION ABILITY,SO ANY NUMBER OF CARBON ATOMS CAN JOIN TOGETHER TO FORM A MOLECULE.HENCE ATOMICITY IS ALSO VERY HIGH.....

i don't understand what exactly is wrong with the question??

  • 1

carbon is a atom and we find atomicity of molecules not of atom because it consist of one atom.

  • 0

atomic mass:12

atomic number:6
