Flashcards on Carbon and Its Compounds
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is the atomic number of carbon?
6
What is the chemical symbol for carbon?
C
How many valence electrons does carbon have?
4
What type of bonding does carbon primarily form?
Covalent bonding
Why is carbon called the 'building block' of life?
Because carbon can form stable covalent bonds with other carbon atoms, allowing for the formation of large and complex molecules necessary for life.
Give an example of an organic compound.
Methane (CH4)
What is the difference between organic and inorganic compounds?
Organic compounds contain carbon atoms, while inorganic compounds do not.
What is the name of the simplest hydrocarbon?
Methane
What is the process called when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water?
Combustion
What is an isomer?
Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements.
What is the main component of fossil fuels?
Hydrocarbons
What are the three types of carbon bonds?
Single, double, and triple bonds
What are the properties of carbon?
Carbon is a nonmetal, it has a high melting and boiling point, it can form covalent bonds with other elements, and it can exist in various allotropes.
What is the process by which plants photosynthesize and convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen?
Photosynthesis
What is the structural formula of ethane?
CH3CH3
