- 2. 1) Occurrence of carbon :- i) Carbon is found in the atmosphere, inside the earth’s crust and in all living organisms. ii) Carbon is present in fuels like wood, coal, charcoal, coke, petroleum, natural gas, biogas, marsh gas etc. iii) Carbon is present in compounds like carbonates, hydrogen carbonates etc. iv) Carbon is found in the free state as diamond, graphite, fullerenes etc.
- 3. 2) Bonding in carbon – Covalent bond :- The atomic number of carbon is 6, its electronic arrangement is 2,4, it has 4 valence electrons. It can attain stability by gaining 4 electrons, losing 4 electrons or sharing 4 electrons with other atoms. It does not gain 4 electrons because it is difficult for the 6 protons to hold 10 electrons. It does not lose 4 electrons because it needs a large amount of energy to lose 4 electrons. So it shares 4 electrons with other atoms to attain stability resulting in the formation of covalent bonds. Since carbon atom needs 4 electrons to attain stability, its valency is 4 and it is tetravalent. C C X X X X _ _ I I
- 4. 3) Formation of covalent bonds :- Covalent bond is chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms. The sharing of one pair of electrons results in the formation of single covalent bond, sharing of two pairs of electrons results in the formation of double covalent bond and sharing of three pairs of electrons results in the formation of triple covalent bond. Eg :- Formation of single covalent bond in Hydrogen molecule - H2 The atomic number of hydrogen is 1, its electronic arrangement is 1, it has 1 valence electron. It needs 1 electron more to attain stability. So two hydrogen atoms share 1 pair of electrons resulting in the formation of a single covalent bond in hydrogen molecule H2. H x + x H H X X H H – H H2
- 5. Formation of double covalent bond in oxygen molecule - O2 The atomic number of oxygen is 8, its EC is 2,6, it has 6 VE, it needs 2 electrons more to attain stability. So two oxygen atoms share two pairs of electrons resulting in the formation of a double covalent bond in oxygen molecule O2 O + O O O O = O O2 Formation of triple covalent bond in Nitrogen molecule - N2 The atomic number of nitrogen is 7, its EC is 2,5, it has 5 VE, it needs 3 electrons more to attain stability. So two nitrogen atoms share three pairs of electrons resulting in the formation of a triple covalent bond in nitrogen molecule N2 N + N N N N Ξ N N2 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X

- 8. 5) Formation of a very large number of carbon compounds :- Carbon forms a very large number of compounds. The number of carbon compounds is more than three million. It is more than the number of compounds formed by all other elements. This is because :- i) Carbon atom can form bonds with other carbon atoms to form long chains, branched chains and closed rings. This property is called catenation. ii) Since the valency of carbon is 4, it can form bonds with other carbon atoms or with atoms of other elements like hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, halogens etc. I C I I I I I I I I I I C C – C – C – C – C – C C – C – C – C C C I I I I I I I I I I C C C C I Long chain Branched chain Closed ring _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

- 20. 12) Soaps and detergents :- a) Soaps :- Soaps are long chain sodium or potassium salts of carboxylic acids. Eg:- Sodium stearate – C17H35COONa Structure of soap molecule :- A soap molecule has two parts. A long hydrocarbon part which is hydrophobic (water repelling) and soluble in oil and grease and a short ionic part which is hydrophyllic (water attracting) and insoluble in oil and grease. COO Na + Hydrocarbon part Ionic part (Water repelling) (Water attracting) Cleansing action of soap :- When soap is dissolved in water it forms spherical structures called micelles. In each micelle the soap molecules are arranged radially such that the HC part is towards the centre and the ionic part is towards the outside. The HC part dissolves the dirt, oil and grease and forms an emulsion at the centre of the micelles which can be washed away by water.
- 22. b) Detergents :- Detergents are long chain sodium salts of sulphonic acids. Soaps do not wash well with hard water because it forms insoluble precipitates of calcium and magnesium salts in hard water. Detergents wash well with hard water because it does not form insoluble precipitates of calcium and magnesium salts in hard water. c) Differences between soaps and detergents :- Soaps Detergents i) Soaps are sodium salts of Detergents are sodium salts of fatty acids. sulphonic acids. ii) Soaps clean well in soft water but Detergents clean well with both do not clean well in hard water. hard and soft water. iii) Soaps do not clean as well as Detergents clean better than soaps. detergents. iv) Soaps are biodegradable and Some detergents are non biodegradable do not cause pollution. and cause pollution.
