Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Carbon and its Compounds after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Atomic number of carbon is 6.
  • Ground state configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p².
  • Carbon has electronegativity 2.5.
  • Hybridisation was introduced by Linus Pauling in 1931.
  • Methane has sp³ hybridisation and bond angle 109°28'.
  • Ethene has sp² hybridisation and bond angle 120°.
  • Allotropy means different physical forms of the same element.
  • Crystalline allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite, and buckminsterfullerene.
  • Amorphous allotropes include coal, coke, charcoal, lamp black, gas carbon, petroleum coke, and sugar charcoal.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Carbon easily forms C4- ions to complete its octet.

All three crystalline allotropes of carbon have the same structure and bonding.

Diamond is soft because it is made of carbon atoms.

Memory Tips

Carbon as a special element with many compounds

Carbon cannot easily form C4- ions
