Question

Which of these is not a charcterstic of carbon

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

• Catenation is the property of elements in which atoms of same element bond with itself in a series to form long chain. Elements usually form bond in order to attain stability. Carbon does not form ionic bond, as removal of 4 electrons or gain of 4 electrons is not possible in order to attain inert gas configuration.
• Carbon makes 4 electrons to form a covalent bond.
• It has a number of allotropes and other forms of existence. ...
• Carbon is highly unreactive under conditions which are normal.
• This chemical element is represented with the symbol C.
• It contains 6 protons in the nucleus and thus, have atomic number 6.
• i hope its helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

Which of these is not characteristic of carbon?

a. Forms four covalent bonds

b. Bonds with itself

c. Forms long chains

d. Is sometimes ionic?

Explanation:

Option d

Carbon is a non-metal. Atomic number of carbon is 6.

Electronic configuration of C = 1s^22s^22p^21s

2

2s

2

2p

Its outer shell has 4 valence electrons. Carbon forms covalent bond by sharing its valence electrons. So, carbon completes its octate by sharing its four valence electrons.

Catenation is the characterisctics property of carbon. Catenation is the property of elements in which atoms of same element bond with itself in a series to form long chain.

Elements usually form bond in order to attain stability.

Carbon does not form ionic bond, as removal of 4 electrons or gain of 4 electrons is not possible in order to attain inert gas configuration.
