Chapter Review
Chapter Review:
- The earth’s crust has only 0.02% carbon in the form of minerals (like carbonates, hydrogencarbonates, coal and petroleum) and the atmosphere has 0.03% of carbon dioxide.
- Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points and conduct electricity in solution or in the molten state.
- The atomic number of chlorine is 17.
- Such bonds which are formed by the sharing of an electron pair
between two atoms are known as covalent bonds. - Covalent bond molecules are seen to have strong bonds within the molecule, but intermolecular forces are small.
- Carbon has three allotropes (i) graphite (ii) diamond (iii) C-60
Buckminsterfullerene. - Diamond is the hardest substance known while graphite is smooth and slippery. Graphite is also a very good conductor of electricity.
- The formation of covalent bonds by the sharing of electrons in various elements and compounds.
- Compounds of carbon, which are linked by only single bonds between the carbon atoms are called saturated compounds.
- Compounds of carbon having double or triple bonds between their
carbon atoms are called unsaturated compounds. - The two characteristic features seen in carbon, that is, tetravalency and catenation.
- Compound of carbon and hydrogen has the formula C2H4 and is called ethene.
- Compound of hydrogen and carbon has the formula C2H2 and is called ethyne.
- Such compounds with identical molecular formula but different structures are called structural isomers.
- All these carbon compounds which contain just carbon and hydrogen
are called hydrocarbons. - The saturated hydrocarbons are called alkanes.
- The unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain one or more double bonds are called alkenes.
- Those containing one or more triple bonds are called alkynes.
- Such a series of compounds in which the same functional group substitutes for hydrogen in a carbon chain is called a homologous series.
- Carbon allotropic forms, burns in oxygen to give carbon dioxide
along with the release of heat and light. - Unsaturated hydrocarbons add hydrogen in the presence of catalysts
such as palladium or nickel to give saturated hydrocarbons. - VegeTable oils generally have long unsaturated carbon chains while
animal fats have saturated carbon chains. - Ethanol is a liquid at room temperature.is commonly called alcohol and is the active ingredient of all alcoholic drinks. In addition, because it is a good solvent, it is also used in medicines such as tincture iodine, cough syrups, and many tonics.
- Ethanol produced for industrial use, it is made unfit for drinking by adding poisonous substances like methanol to it. Dyes are also added to colour the alcohol blue so that it can beidentified easily. This is called denatured alcohol.
- Ethanoic acid is commonly called acetic acid and belongs to a group of acids called carboxylic acids. 5-8% solution of acetic acid in water is called vinegar.
- Esters are sweet-smelling substances. These are used in making perfumes and as flavouring agents.
- Soaps are molecules in which the two ends have differing properties, one is hydrophilic,that is, it dissolves in water, while the other end is hydrophobic, that is, it dissolves in hydrocarbons.
- Detergents are generally ammonium or sulphonate salts of long chain
carboxylic acids. The charged ends of these compounds do not form
insoluble precipitates with the calcium and magnesium ions in hard
water.

Q2. What are the two properties of carbon which lead to the huge number of carbon compounds we see around us?
Answer: Two properties of carbon :-
(i) The valency of carbon is four, so it joins with its own atoms with single, double, triple covalent bonds.

Q1. Why is the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid an oxidation reaction?
Answer: Ethanoic + Oxygen → Ethanoic acid. In this way there is increase of oxygen and decrease of hydrogen and these reactions are called oxygen reactions.
Q2. A mixture of oxygen and ethyne is burnt for welding. Can you tell why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used?
Answer: Oxygen is not available in abundance in the air. Oxygen is required for complete combustion in welding, so only mixture of oxygen and ethene is used for welding. This mixture is called oxyacetylene gas.
Page no. 74
Q1. How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid?
Answer: On reacting with sodium bicarbonate, the difference between the two is obtained. Sodium bicarbonate does not react with alcohol and does not produce gas. But CO2 gas is emitted when ethanoic acid reacts.
Q2. What are oxidising agents?
Answer: Oxidizers are those substances which oxidise another substance and decompose itself. Example: KMnO4
Page no. 76
Q1. Would you be able to check if water is hard by using a detergent?
Answer: We cannot tell by using detergent whether water is hard or because they produce micelles (foam) in both the conditions.
Q2. People use a variety of methods to wash clothes. Usually after adding the soap, they ‘beat’ the clothes on a stone, or beat it with a paddle, scrub with a brush or the mixture is agitated in a washing machine. Why is agitation necessary to get clean clothes?
Answer: It reacts with soap scum to form a micelle structure. Oily scum tends to collect in the center of the micelles and stick to the clothes, so it is necessary to do this to clean it.

Q8. Why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water? Will a micelle be formed in other solvents such as ethanol also?
Answer: Micelles are formed when soap is added to water because soaps have two - a long hydrocarbon tail and a negative end. The tail is water resistant and the head watery. When it reacts with a polar solvent like water, the charged part causes the hydrophilic part, so they form clumps around the heads of the soap molecules and also form froth. Ethanol is not a polar solvent so it does not form lather with soap.
Q9. Why are carbon and its compounds used as fuels for most applications?
Answer: Carbon and its compounds generate a lot of heat as a result of combustion. Their combustion is easy to control and the ignition temperature is also normal, so their compound is used as fuel.
Q10. Explain the formation of scum when hard water is treated with soap.
Answer: The calcium and magnesium ions present in hard water react with soap to form insoluble salts. Hence, a white precipitate is formed.

Q11. What change will you observe if you test soap with litmus paper (red and blue)?
Answer: Soap is alkaline in nature hence it turns red litmus paper eco blue.
Q12. What is hydrogenation? What is its industrial application?
Answer: Unsaturated hydrocarbons combine with hydrogen to form saturated compounds. This process is called hydrogenation. This process is used to make ghee from oil. Vegetable oil +H2
Q13. Which of the following hydrocarbons undergo addition reactions: C2H6 , C3H8 , C3H6 , C2H2 and CH4.
Answer: Addition reaction will take place in C2H2 and C3H6 because they are unsaturated hydrocarbons
Q14. Give a test that can be used to differentiate chemically between butter and cooking oil.
Answer: Butter is saturated and edible oil is unsaturated hydrocarbon. These can be differentiated with the help of bromine water. Heat butter and oil. Now put some drops of bromine water in them. There is an organic compound in butter. Similarly, when bromine is added to oil, the color of the water turns off, so it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Q15. Explain the mechanism of the cleaning action of soaps.
Answer: There are two ends in the direction of soap, one is anti-water and the other is burning. The anti-water end sticks to the dirt in the clothes, but the water-resistant end sticks to the water molecules. Due to this action, froth (micelle) is formed. In this lather, the soap molecules are arranged in a circular shape. Polar part CooNa+ .
