Carbon and compounds
Cards in this deck (5)
- 1Carbon its compounds > The bonds formed by sharing of electrons are called covalent bonds. > Formation of ions doesn't take place in sharing of electrons, thus these compounds don't conduct electricity. > They have low melting and boiling points. > The phenomenon due to which an element exhibits various physical properties is called allotropy.
- 2> Catenation is the ability of an element to combine with itself through covalent bonds to form long chains. > The compounds of carbon having only single bonds between the atoms are called saturated compounds. Formula: Alkane; CnH2n+2. > The compounds of carbon having double and triple bonds between the atoms is called an unsaturated compound. Formula: Alkene; CnH2n. Alkyne; CnH2n-2.
