Question. What are covalent compounds? Why are they different from ionic compounds? List their three characteristic properties.
Answer: Covalent compounds are those compounds which are formed by sharing of valence electrons between the atoms e.g., hydrogen molecule is formed by mutual sharing of electrons between two hydrogen atoms.
They are different from ionic compounds as ionic compounds are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another e.g., NaCl is formed when one valence electron of sodium gets completely transferred to outer shell of chlorine atom. The characteristic properties of covalent compounds are:
(i) They are generally insoluble or less soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
(ii) They have low melting and boiling points.
(iii) They do not conduct electricity as they do not contain ions.
Question. Name the following compounds:
(a) CH3 – CH2 – OH
Answer: (a) CH3 – CH2 – OH : Ethanol
Question. Write the name and structure of an alcohol with three carbon atoms in its molecule.

Question. Give reasons for the following:
(i) Element carbon forms compounds mainly by covalent bonding.
(ii) Diamond has high melting point.
(iii) Graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
Answer: (i) As carbon has four valence electrons and it can neither lose nor gain four electrons thus, it attains noble gas configuration only by sharing of electrons. Thus, it forms covalent compounds.
(ii) In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms forming a rigid threedimensional structure. This makes diamond the hardest known substance. Thus, it has high melting point.
(iii) In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms by covalent bonds in the same plane giving a hexagonal array. Thus, only three valence electrons are used for bond formation and hence, the fourth valence electron is free to move. As a result, graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
Question. An element of group 14 has two common allotropes, A and B.
A is very hard and is bad conductor of electricity while B is soft to touch and good conductor of electricity. Identify the element and its allotropes.
Answer : Element is carbon
A is Diamond.
B is graphite
Question. Allotropes of carbon has same chemical properties. Give reason.

Question. Carbon cannot make ionic compounds. Why?
Answer : Due to small size and high effective nuclear charge, carbon cannot lose electrons to form C4+ ion and as carbon with 6 protons cannot afford four more electrons in its L shell, it cannot form C4- ions, As carbon cannot form an anion or cation, it cannot make ionic bonds.
Question. Give the general formula of alkanes. Write the name, structural formula and physical state of the compound containing:
(i) 3-carbon atoms
(ii) 8-carbon atoms.
Answer : General formula of alkanes is CnH2n+2 where n = 1, 2, 3…
(i) Propane, CH3—CH2—CH3 Propane is a gas.
(ii) CH3—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH3 Octane is a liquid
Question. Why does carbon form compounds mainly by covalent bonding?
Answer : Carbon atoms have 4 valence electrons in their valence shell, it needs to gain or lose 4 electrons to attain the noble gas configuration.
(i) It could gain four electrons forming C4- anion. But it would be difficult for the nucleus with six protons to hold on to ten electrons.
(ii) It could lose four electrons forming C4+ cation. But it would require a large amount of energy to remove four electrons from its outermost shell. Therefore, carbon shares its valence electrons to complete its octet with other atoms to form covalent bonds.
Question. List the common physical properties of carbon compounds.
Answer : They have covalent bonds between their atoms therefore they do not form ions. So they are poor conductors of electric current. These compounds have low melting and low boiling points. They are generally insoluble in water but soluble in the organic solvents like ether, carbon- tetrachloride, etc.
Question. Compare the structures of diamond and graphite.
Answer : In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms forming a rigid three dimensional structure.
In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms in the same plane giving a hexagonal array. One of these bonds is a double bond.

Answer :
Question. Draw the electron dot structure of O2 and N2 molecules
Answer :
Question. State the reason why carbon can neither form C+4 cation nor C-4 anions but forms covalent compound.
Answer: Carbon has atomic number 6. This means that it has 4 electrons in its outermost shell. It needs to gain or lose 4 electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. But it cannot form C+4 cation because the removal of 4 electrons requires a large amount of energy. And also, cannot form C-4 anion as it would be difficult for its nucleus with 6 protons to hold on to 10 electrons. Therefore, Carbon atoms share electrons and form covalent compounds.
Question. The element carbon forms a very large number of compounds. Give reason for this fact.
Answer: Carbon forms large number of compounds because of tetravalency and catenation property.
Tetravalency- Carbon has valency 4 to attain noble gas configuration carbon shares its valence electrons with other elements like hydrogen chlorine etc.
Catenation-Carbon also shows the property of self-linking in which it forms long branched or cyclic chains to form large number of compounds.
Question. Why carbon and its compounds are used as fuels for most applications?
Answer: Carbon and its compounds give large amount of heat on combustion due to high percentage of carbon and hydrogen. They have high optimum ignition temperature with high calorific values and are easy to handle and their combustion can be controlled. Therefore, carbon and its compounds are used as fuels.
Question. What is a homologous series? List any of its two features.
Answer: A homologous series is a series of carbon compounds that have different numbers of carbon atoms but contain the same functional group.
Characteristics of homologous series:
1. The members of the homologous series can be represented by a general formula.
2. The successive members differ from each other in the molecular formula by a CH₂ unit.
Question. What is meant by isomers? Draw the structures of two isomers of butane. Explain why we cannot have isomers of first three members of alkane series?
Answer: Isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but different structures. Since branching is not possible, isomers are not possible for the first three members of alkanes series.
The two isomers of butane, C4H10 are:
