Question

Arbon is a nonmetal with atomic number 6 and 4 valence electrons. it exists in different allotropic forms as diamond, graphite, coal, and fullerenes which differ in physical properties. carbon can not lose or gain four electrons . it shares its electrons with other atoms to attain octet. carbon forms a large number of compounds due to property of catenation and tetravalency. carbon forms covalent compounds and these compounds, unlike ionic compounds have weak inter molecular forces of attraction. hydrocarbons are compounds of carbon with hydrogen. the two types of hydrocarbons are saturated and unsaturated. methane is a hydrocarbon found in cng.
