Question

Give reason for the following observations: i) the element of carbon forms a very large number of compounds. ii) air holes of a gas burner have to be adjusted when the heated vessels get blakned by the flame iii) use of synthesis detergents causes pollution of water.

Answer 1

The elements of carbon form very large number of compound because carbon valency is 4 so ot form long chain like structure

Answer 2

1)The valency of the carbon is 4.Which is perfect for forming long chains of particles which forms large and complex compounds.

2)We have to adjust the air holes of a burner,in order to control the oxygen flow in the combustion chamber which will recreate the proper flame.

3) Because, synthesized detergents have many harmful chemical bleaches as their contents.Which causes the water pollution.
