Explanation:
In the compound carbon dioxide – the elements carbon & oxygen are combined in a fixed ratio. Explain. Answer: A compound is a pure substance made up of two or more different elements [atoms] combined chemically in a fixed proportion.
Compounds of carbon are defined as chemical substances containing carbon.[1][2] More compounds of carbon exist than any other chemical element except for hydrogen. Organic carbon compounds are far more numerous than inorganic carbon compounds. In general bonds of carbon with other elements are covalent bonds. Carbon is tetravalent but carbon free radicals and carbenes occur as short-lived intermediates. Ions of carbon are carbocations and carbanions are also short-lived. An important carbon property is catenation as the ability to form long carbon chains and rings.[3]
