Acarbon atom, with a half-full outer shell of electrons - four in a shell that can hold eight - readily shares its electrons with other atoms and forms a vast number of molecules, many of which are the organic molecules that form the bulk of living matter. looking at the periodic table in the study area, what other element do you think might play a role like carbon in life forms on some other planet?
