Question

Carbon group (14) element in the periodic table is known to form compounds with many element write an xample of a compound formed with a) chlorine(group17of periodic table) b)oxygen (group 16 of periodic table)

Answer 1

carbon chloride = CCl4
carbon monoxide = CO
carbon dioxide = CO2

Answer 2

Answer:

The compounds formed by carbon with the given elements of the periodic table are:

1. Chlorine- Carbon tetrachloride( CCl4)

2. Oxygen- Carbon dioxide( CO2).

Carbon tetrachloride is formed by the reaction between one atom of carbon and four atoms of chlorine, thus forming a tetrahedral structure.

Carbon also reacts with oxygen to form two important compounds such as carbon dioxide( CO2) and carbon monoxide( CO). The difference between the two compounds lies in the number of oxygen atoms and thereby its structure and chemical properties.
