PLEASE HELP!! Carbon has unique bonding characteristics that allow it to A form ionic bonds with any atom to form many different molecules. B resist bonding with other atoms and remain a pure element. C form chains or rings by bonding to itself and other atoms. D form ionic salts that make up half of the known salts on Earth.

more info ? ? i don't understand what the question is

explanation:

answer; i do believe the correct answer is (river); /// good luck

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6

the answers would be

the first one and the second one
