What is tetravalency of carbon? Why does carbon show this property?
Answer
Tetravalency means carbon forms four covalent bonds. Carbon (atomic number 6) has electronic configuration 2,4, so it has 4 valence electrons. Due to high ionization energy and moderate electron affin…
Define catenation with examples.
Answer
Catenation is the property of atoms of an element to link with one another by stable covalent bonds to form straight chains, branched chains, or rings. Carbon shows maximum catenation due to strong C-…
What types of bonds can carbon form? Give examples of each.
Answer
Carbon can form three types of bonds: 1) Single bonds (C-C): as in ethane (CH₃-CH₃), 2) Double bonds (C=C): as in ethene (CH₂=CH₂), 3) Triple bonds (C≡C): as in ethyne (CH≡CH). Carbon can also form mu…
Define hydrocarbons and classify them into main categories.
Answer
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms only. They are classified into: 1) Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) - contain only single C-C bonds, general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, 2)…
What are alkyl groups? Give examples of methyl and ethyl groups.
Answer
Alkyl groups are formed when a hydrogen atom is removed from an alkane. They are represented by 'R' in general. Examples: Methyl group (-CH₃) is formed by removing H from methane (CH₄), Ethyl group (-…
Define functional group and explain its importance with an example.
Answer
A functional group is an atom or group of atoms which largely decides the chemical behavior of an organic compound. It determines the properties and reactions of the compound. Example: The -OH group i…
