Overview

Carbon is a non-metal element with atomic number 6 and electronic configuration 1s² 2s² 2p². It forms a very large number of compounds because of tetravalency, catenation, and the ability to form single, double, and triple covalent bonds. Carbon also shows allotropy, so it exists in different physic

Key Concepts

Carbon has atomic number 6

Carbon has atomic number 6 and configuration 1s² 2s² 2p². It has four valence electrons and satisfies its tetravalency by sharing electrons with other

Hybridisation is the redistribution of orbitals

Hybridisation is the redistribution of orbitals of almost equal energy in an atom to form new orbitals with identical energy and shape. Carbon shows s

Carbon has the ability to form

Carbon has the ability to form long chains and rings by bonding with its own atoms. This ability is called catenation. Sulphur and phosphorus also sho

Allotropy is the property of

Allotropy is the property of an element to exist in two or more physical forms with similar chemical properties but different physical properties. Car

Diamond is a crystalline allotrope

Diamond is a crystalline allotrope of carbon in which each carbon atom is sp³ hybridised in a tetrahedral 3D covalent network. It is one of the hardes
