Question 14.
Diamond is considered to be the purest form of carbon. How can we prove it?
Answer:
When diamond is heated in oxygen alone, it bums at about 800° C and forms carbon dioxide leaving no residue. This proves that diamond to be the purest form of carbon.
Question 15.
Why does carbon not form C4+? Why?
Answer:
- Electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p².
- If carbon loses four electrons from the outer shell, it will form C4+ ions.
- This requires huge amount of energy which is not available normally.
- Therefore C4+ formation is not possible.
Question 16.
Why does carbon form compounds mainly by covalent bonding?
Answer:
Carbon is unable to form C4+ ion as well as C4- ion. So carbon has to satisfy its tetra- valency by sharing electrons with other atoms. So it mainly forms covalent bonding.

Question 28.
Explain briefly about the structure of “Diamond”.
Answer:
- In a diamond, each carbon atom is surrounded by four other carbon atoms.
- In these carbon atoms, each carbon atom undergoes in its excited state sp3 hybridisation.
- These are placed at the four corners of a regular tetrahedron.
- This results in a 3-dimensional network of carbon atoms.
- So diamond is in three dimensional structure.
Question 29.
Explain briefly about the structure of “Graphite”.
Answer:
- In graphite, each ‘C’ is surrounded by three other ‘C’ atoms.
- The ‘C’ atoms are arranged in layers.
- In the layer structure, the carbon atoms are in trigonal planar environment.
- Each layer consists of a 2-dimensional hexagonal network.
Question 30.
Diamond is an extremely bad conductor of electricity.” Why?
Answer:
1) In diamond, each carbon atom is covalently bonded with four other carbon atoms.
2) So, the four outermost electrons of a carbon atom are engaged or trapped in the covalent bonds, having no free electrons making it a bad conductor of electricity.
Question 31.
Why is diamond hard but graphite is smooth and slippery?
Answer:
Diamond has sp³ hybridisation with tetrahedral environment. As C – C bonds are very strong any attempt to distort the diamond structure requires large amount of energy. Hence diamond is one of the hardest material.
Whereas graphite has sp² hybridisation with layer structure with trigonal planar environment. The layers tend to slide on one another. So graphite is smooth and slippery.

Answer:
Question 13.
Explain the occurrence of carbon.
Answer:
Carbon occurs in nature in free state as well as in combined state.
Question 14.
What is sp hybridisation? Explain.
Answer:
- Each carbon is only joining to two other atoms rather than four or three.
- Here the carbon atoms hybridise their outer orbitals before forming bonds, this time they only hybridise two of the orbitals.
- They use the ‘s’ orbital (2s) and one of the 2p orbitals, but leave the other 2p orbitals unchanged.
- The new hybrid orbitals formed are called sp-hybrid orbitals, because they are made by an s-orbital and a p-orbital reorganizing themselves.
Question 15.
Write the characteristics of homologous series of organic compounds.
Answer:
Characteristics of homologous series :
- They have one general formula.
e.g.: Alkanes (CnH2n+2) - Successive compounds in the series possess a difference of – CH2 unit.
- They possess similar chemical properties due to same functional group.
e.g.: C – OH - They show a regular gradation in their physical properties.
Question 16.
What is sp³ hybridisation with diagram? Explain.
Answer:
The excited carbon atom allows its one s-orbital (2s) and three p-orbitals (2px, 2py, 2pz) to intermix and reshuffle into four identical orbitals known as sp³ orbitals. Thus, carbon atom undergoes sp³ hybridization. The four electrons enter the new four identical hybrid orbitals known as sp³ hybrid orbitals, one each as per Hu nd’s rule.
1) Since carbon has four unpaired electrons, it is capable of forming bonds with four other atoms.
2) When carbon reacts with hydrogen, four hydrogen atoms allow their ‘s’ orbitals containing one electron each to overlap with four sp³ orbitals of carbon atom which are oriented at an angle of 109°. 28’.
3) Four orbitals of an atom in the outer shell orient along the four corners of a tetrahedron to have minimum repulsion between their electrons. ‘The nucleus of the atom is at the centre of the tetrahedron.
4) This leads to form four sp³ – s sigma bonds between carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms, All these bonds are of equal energy,
Question 17.
What is sp² hybridisation? Explain.
Answer:
Consider ethene molecule
- In the formation of CH2 – CH2 each carbon atom in its excited state undergoes sp² hybridisation by intermixing one s-orbital (2s) and two p-orbitals (say 2px and 2py) and reshuffling to form three sp² orbitals.
- Mow each carbon atom is left with one ‘p’ orbital (say 2pz) unhybridised,
- The three sp² orbitals having one electron each get separated around the nucleus of carbon atoms at an angle of 120°.
- When carbon is ready to form bonds one sp² orbital of one carbon atom overlaps the sp² orbital of the other carbon atom to form sp² – sp² sigma (σ) bond,
- The remaining two sp² orbitals of each carbon atom get overlapped by ‘s’ orbitals of two hydrogen atoms containing unpaired electrons.
- The unhybridised pz orbitals on the two carbon atoms overlap laterally as shown in figure to form a π (pi) bond.
- Hence, there exist a sigma (σ) bond and a pi π (pi) bond between two carbon atoms in ethene molecule. Hence, the molecule ethene (C2H4) is

2) Carbon atoms are joined only by single bonds. | 2) Carbon atoms are joined by at least one double bond or by a triple bond. |
