Class 10th - SCIEN
Carbon an
Compou
, Ato
Atomic mass of C : 12u. Valency of C : 4
no.
Carbon is a non-metallic element with the sym
Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in t
Electric configuratio
UNIQUENESS IN CARBON:
,Catenation: The property of carbon to form strong
atoms, creating long chains, branched structures, o
Polymerisation: The process where small molecules
large molecules (polymers).
Isomerism: Compounds with the same molecular fo
called isomers, and this property is known as isome
Tetravalency of Carbon: Carbon has four valence
bonds instead of gaining or losing electrons because
Gaining 4 electrons (C⁴⁻) makes it unstable du
Losing 4 electrons (C⁴⁺) requires high energy a
, Properties of Covalent Compound:
Low Melting & Boiling Points – Due to weak intermole
Poor Conductors – No free ions for electricity conducti
Insoluble in Water – But soluble in organic solvents.
Exist in All States – Can be solids, liquids, or gases.
Three types of covalen
