explain with examples the following properties of carbon compound
Answers
Answer:
Physical properties of carbon compounds or organic compounds:
Carbon compounds have low melting and boiling points because force of attraction between their molecules are not very strong.
Carbon compounds are non- conductors of electricity because they do not contains ions.
Physical properties of covalent compounds:
Covalent compounds are usually liquids or gases. Only some of them are solids. Covalent compounds are liquids and gases due to the weak force of attraction between their molecules.
Covalent compounds have usually low melting and boiling points because only a small amount of heat energy is required to break the weak molecular forces.
Covalent compounds are usually insoluble in water but they are soluble in organic solvents.
Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity means they are non- electrolytes because they do not contains ions.
Carbon compounds are organic and covalent compounds. But it also should be noted that all carbon compounds are not organic. Example of non- organic carbon compounds are CO2, CaCO3, NaHCO3 etc.
