Question

four short properties of carbon​

Answer 1

Carbon has several allotropes, or different forms in which it can exist. These allotropes include graphite and diamond, which have very different properties.

Despite carbon’s ability to make 4 bonds and its presence in many compounds, it is highly unreactive under normal conditions.

Carbon exists in 3 main isotopes: 12C, 13C, 14C. 14C is radioactive and used in dating carbon-containing samples (radiometric dating).

Answer 2

• Carbon is a unique element. It occurs in many forms. Some of the examples of the pure form of carbon are coal and soot.

• It is soft and dull grey or black in color.

• As we all know that carbon in all forms needs oxygen, heat, and light and forms carbon dioxide. When it is burned in air to give carbon dioxide, it is called as combustion.

• Let us get the concept of this using some examples when it is burnt in the air: When methane CH4 is burnt in the presence of oxygen it gives us carbon dioxide, heat, and light.
