Why can carbon bond to many elements simultaneously? because its +4 valence forms ionic bonds because it has a natural ionic charge of "+4" because it is capable of forming multiple covalent bonds?

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Carbon is a non-metal and it belongs to group 14 of the periodic table.

Atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic distribution is 2, 4. And, in order to attain stability a carbon atom can either lose its valence electron or it can gain 4 electrons from another atom by sharing or donating.

Hence, a carbon atom is able to form a single, double or a triple bond with its own or another atom. This makes carbon atom to form multiple bonds.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon bond to many elements simultaneously because it is capable of forming multiple covalent bonds.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
