IV. Answer in brief.
1. Differentiate graphite and diamond
Diamond | Graphite |
1. Each carbon has four covalent bonds. | Each carbon has three covalent bonds. |
2. Hard, heavy, and transparent. | Soft, slippery to touch and opaque. |
3. It has tetrahedral units linked in three dimension. | It has planar layers of hexagon units. |
4. It is non-conductor of heat and electricity. | It is conductor of heat and electricity. |
2. What are saturated and unsaturated compounds called?
Organic compounds containing carbon. Carbon single bonds are known as saturated compounds. Organic compounds containing one (or) more double (or) triple bonds are known as unsaturated compounds
3. Carbon do not form ionic compounds. Why?
It has four electrons in its outermost orbit. According to Octet Rule, carbon requires four electrons to attain nearest noble gas (Neon) electronic confi guration. So carbon has the tendency to share its four electrons with other atoms to complete its octet. So carbon do not form ionic compounds.
4. What is the valency of carbon in carbon monoxide?
The valency of carbon in carbon monoxide is two.
5. Why are one-time use and throwaway plastics harmful?
Use and throwaway plastics cause short and long-term environmental damage. Half of all the plastic made today is used for throwaway plastic items. These block drains and pollute water bodies. One-time use plastic causes health problems for humans, plants and animals.
V. Answer in detail.
1. What is catenation? How does carbon form catenated compounds?
Catenation is binding of an element to itself or with other elements through covalent bonds to form open chain or closed chain compounds. Carbon is the most common element which undergoes catenation and forms long chain compounds. Carbon atom links repeatedly to itself through covalent bond to form linear chain, branched chain or ring structure.
This property of carbon itself is the reason for the presence of large number of organic carbon compounds. So organic chemistry essentially deals with catenated carbon compounds.
2. What are the chemical reactions of carbon?
Oxidation – (Reaction with oxygen)
Carbon combines with oxygen to form its oxides like carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with evolution of heat.
2C(s) + O2(g)) → 2 CO(g)+ heat
C(s) + O2(g)→ C O2(g)+ heat
Reaction with steam
Carbon reacts with steam to form carbon monoxide and hydrogen. This mixture is called water gas.
C(s) + H2O(g) → C O(g) + H2(g)
Reaction with sulphur
With sulphur, carbon forms its disulphide at high temperature.
C(g) + S(g) → C S2(g)
Reaction with metals
At elevated temperatures, carbon reacts with some metals like iron, tungsten, Titanium, etc. to form their carbides.
W(s) + C(g) → WC(s)
3. Name the three safer resin codes of plastics and describe their features.
VI. HOTS
1. Why do carbon exist mostly in combined state?
Carbon exist mostly in combined state because of catenation,Tetra valency and formation of multiple bonds
2. When a carbon fuel burns in less aerated room, it is dangerous to stay there. Why?
When a carbon fuel burns in less aerated room, it produces carbon monoxide , which is highly toxic because it affects the oxygen carrying capacity of haemoglobin.so it is dangerous to stay there
3. Explain how dioxins are formed, which plastic type they are linked to and why they are harmful to humans.
Burning of PVC releases dioxins.Dioxins are very toxic to humans, because they cause skin, liver problems and affect nervous, endocrine and reproductive systems.
4. Yugaa wants to buy a plastic water bottle. She goes to the shop and sees four different kinds of plastic bottles with resin codes 1, 3, 5 and 7. Which one should she buy? Why?
Resin cods 1,3,7 are harmful plastics but resin code 5 is PP(poly propylene). It is a safer plastic. Therefore she should buy the plastic bottle with resin code 5.
