What to Focus On

  • Atomic number of carbon: 6
  • Carbon has four valence electrons
  • Carbon forms covalent bonds by sharing electrons

  • Diamond is a 3D rigid allotrope
  • Graphite has layered hexagonal sheets
  • Graphite conducts electricity

  • Vital force theory was rejected
  • Wöhler prepared urea from ammonium cyanate in 1828
  • Organic chemistry studies carbon compounds

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Carbon forms ionic compounds easily because it needs four electrons to complete its octet.

Diamond and graphite have the same physical properties because both are forms of carbon.

In graphite, all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds.

Memory Tips
