Question

Q.7. a) Why most of the carbon compounds are poor
conductor of electricity ?
(b) Write the name and structure of a saturated
compound in which the carbon atoms are arranged
in a ring. Give the number of single bonds present
in this compound ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a . Carbon compounds are poor electrical conductors because they form covalent bonds, and they do not give rise to free electrons because all electrons are used to create the covalent bond.

b. In organic chemistry, a saturated compound is one which has all single bonds in between the carbon-carbon atoms. Most of the saturated hydrocarbons are alkanes. So, the structures in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a ring are called as cycloalkanes, with a general formula of CnH₂n.

The number of single bonds in the structure is 18..
