So, we all have differences over the meaning of this phrase 'being modern'. And this is one reason why these kinds of words are mostly avoided in public speaking or formal communication to eliminate any possible dispute over the interpretation.
Compounds of carbon are defined as chemical substances containing carbon. 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 and are also short-lived.
A compound is a pure substance that is made up of two or more different elements that are chemically combined. Several common compounds include water (H2O), limestone (CaCO3), salt (NaCl) and carbon dioxide (CO2). It is not easy to separate the elements in a compound because it requires a chemical reaction.his ability to react to oxygen to form rust is called a chemical property. A chemical property is a characteristic that can only be determined by changing the chemical identity of a substance. What we started with was iron, but when it reacts with the oxygen in the air, it turns into iron oxide, or rust.
