CARBON AND ITS COMPUNDS


CLASS -X
SUBJECT – SCIENCE (086)

[Link] does carbon form covalent bonds instead of ionic bonds? Explain with reasons.

2. Explain the phenomenon of catenation. Why is carbon the best element to exhibit this property?

3. Why are most carbon compounds poor conductors of electricity?

4. Why does graphite conduct electricity, whereas diamond does not, even though both are allotropes of carbon?

5. How does the presence of a functional group affect the chemical properties of an organic compound?

6. Write balanced chemical equations for the following reactions:

(a) Ethanol is heated with concentrated sulfuric acid. (b) Combustion of ethyne in excess oxygen.

(c) Addition of bromine water to ethene. (d) Oxidation of ethanol using alkaline KMnO₄.

7. Explain how you can distinguish between ethanol and ethanoic acid using a simple test.

8. Why does soap form a scum in hard water but detergents do not?

9. What happens when ethanol reacts with sodium metal? Write the chemical equation.

10. An organic compound 'X' has the molecular formula C₂H₆O. It is used in alcoholic beverages. Identify the compound
and write its reaction with ethanoic acid.

11. A hydrocarbon 'Y' burns with a sooty flame. It decolorizes bromine water but does not undergo substitution
reactions. Identify 'Y' and write its structural formula.

12. A compound ‘Z’ has a molecular formula C₃H₆O₂. It reacts with sodium carbonate to release CO₂ gas. Identify ‘Z’ and
write its structural formula.

13. Why does ethanoic acid have a higher boiling point than ethanol, even though both have similar molecular masses?

14. Why is soap not effective in acidic water? Explain with a chemical equation.
