Question

Explain 5 chemical properties of carbon compound

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon is a fascinating element. It is known to form almost ten million different compounds most of which are chemical compounds that are organic in nature. Let us learn a bit about the chemical properties of carbon compounds.

Explanation:

• In a combustion reaction, carbon compounds are oxidized in the presence of oxygen
• Alcohols undergo oxidation in presence of Oxidants like alkaline potassium permanganate (KMnO4) to form carbolic acids.
• Unsaturated organic compounds, like alkenes and alkynes, contain multiple bonds (C=C, C≡C) between their carbon atoms.They undergo addition reactions to become saturated in nature.
• Combustion of hydrocarbons may be of two types: Complete combustion and incomplete combustion.
• Complete combustion of hydrocarbons occurs in excess of oxygen(air), producing CO2 and H2O as the only final chemical products.Heat and light (clear blue flame) as a form of energy is generated.

• Incomplete combustion occurs when there is insufficient Oxygen(air) and the hydrocarbon is in excess.This reaction burns with a sooty or smokey flame and produces products which are CO(g) and/or C(s) and H2O.

Carbon is a fascinating element. It is known to form almost ten million different compounds most of which are chemical compounds that are organic in nature. Let us learn a bit about the chemical properties of carbon compounds.

Explanation:

In a combustion reaction, carbon compounds are oxidized in the presence of oxygen

Alcohols undergo oxidation in presence of Oxidants like alkaline potassium permanganate (KMnO4) to form carbolic acids.

Unsaturated organic compounds, like alkenes and alkynes, contain multiple bonds (C=C, C≡C) between their carbon atoms.They undergo addition reactions to become saturated in nature.

Combustion of hydrocarbons may be of two types: Complete combustion and incomplete combustion.

Complete combustion of hydrocarbons occurs in excess of oxygen(air), producing CO2 and H2O as the only final chemical products.Heat and light (clear blue flame) as a form of energy is generated.

Incomplete combustion occurs when there is insufficient Oxygen(air) and the hydrocarbon is in excess.This reaction burns with a sooty or smokey flame and produces products which are CO(g) and/or C(s) and H2O.
