Approximate time since the emergence of life on earth is, 4.5 billion years 3.5 billion years 20000 years 3.5 million years None 4. What is TRUE about the covalent bonds of silicon and carbon C-C covalent bonds are stronger than Si-Si bonds Si-Si covalent bonds are stronger than C-C bonds C-C covalent bonds are stable than Si-Si bonds C-C covalent bond has high bond energy than Si-Si- bonds All of the above 1 & 4 None 5. Why carbon is present in most of the biochemicals? It is abundant in the environment It is the most suitable element for biomolecule formation because of its unique chemical properties All the carbon containing compounds have low activation energy thereby speeding up the reactions Other elements preferentially react with carbon None 6.
