Question

Describe the important chemical properties of carbon compounds. write the equations for each reaction​

Answer 1

important chemical properties of carbon compounds:

1. They are often brittle and break when force is applied.

2. They don't conduct electricity as they are bond by covalent bonds. Freely moving ions which are required for electricity conduction which are absent in covalent bonds.

3. Melting point and boiling point of carbon compounds is low as covalent bonds are weaker than ionic bonds
