Okay, so why is carbon so good as a basic building block of life? so we've got four potential reasons here, one of them is false.
00:12
So we've got a, carbon is very dense and heavy, giving stability.
00:17
B, carbon is the least electronegative non -metal.
00:21
C, carbon readily makes four stable bonds in single, double or triple configurations.
00:27
Or d, carbon has a high affinity for oxygen and hydrogen, which make bonds easy.
00:32
With it.
00:33
Okay, so i'll give you the answer first.
00:36
The answer is a.
00:37
What's wrong with this? carbon is not dense or heavy.
00:41
Carbon only has an atomic number of six, which is pretty low in the grand scheme of things.
00:49
So that's your answer...
