CARBON AND ITS COMPOUNDS, , 6, CHAPTER, , CONTENTS, INTRODUCTION, CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF, CARBON COMPOUND, IMPORTANT CHEMICAL, REACTION, INTRODUCTION, Carbon is most important element because it, forms largest number of compounds which are, useful in our daily life. In this chapter, we shall, study about carbon and its compounds., , Important Terms and Concepts :, 1. Carbon : Its atomic number is 6. Its mass, number is 1.20. Its atomic mass is 12.011. Its, melting point is 3550ºC and boiling point is, 4830ºC. It occurs in free state as well as in, combined state. 70% of our body is made up, of carbon. It forms largest number of, compounds. The earth crust contains only, 0.02% of carbon., 2. Organic Compounds : Those compounds, which consist of carbon essentially and, hydrogen mostly along with other elements, like oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen, halogens, etc., are called organic compounds., 3. Coal : It is a naturally occurring solid fuel, which exists in the form of varying depths, below the earth’s surface. It is formed by decay, of vegetation that grew 40 to 300 million years, ago, followed by chemical processes of, condensation and polymerization under, influence of temperature, pressure and time., , 4. Petroleum : It is an oil found in rocks. It is a, mixture of solid, liquid and gaseous, hydrocarbons. It is a source of petrol, diesel,, kerosene, petroleum ether, petroleum coke,, petroleum wax, etc., 5. Carbonates : They are compounds of carbonic, acid. They are found in earth crust, e.g., CaCO3,, MgCO3, Na2CO3, Na2CO3, ZnCO3. They are, thermally stable., 6. Hydrogen Carbonates : They contain HCO3–, ions. They are formed by replacing one H+ of, carbonic acid, e.g., NaHCO3, Ca(HCO3)2,, Mg(HCO3)2. They are soluble in water. They are, thermally unstable, i.e., decompose on heating to, form carbonates, CO2 and H2O., 7. Chemical Bond : It is a force of attraction, which holds the two atoms together., 8. Covalent Bond : It is the bond formed by, equal sharing of electrons, e.g., Hydrogen has, one valence electron. It can share one valence, electron with other hydrogen atom to form H2, molecule so as to acquire nearest noble gas, configuration. The bond between two hydrogen, atoms by sharing one electron each is called, covalent bond., 9. Covalency of Carbon : Carbon has four, valence electrons. It cannot lose four, electrons since very high amount of energy, will be required to lose four electrons to form, C4+ ion. There is strong force of attraction, between nucleus and valence electrons., Carbon cannot gain four electrons to form C4–, ion because six protons cannot hold 10, electrons easily and there will be strong, interelectronic repulsion., Carbon can share four electrons easily with, other atoms of carbon and other elements to, acquire stable electronic configuration.

Harmful effects of drinking alcohol :, (i) If ethanol is mixed with CH3OH (methanol), and consumed, it may cause serious, poisoning and loss of eyesight., (ii) It causes addiction (habit forming) and, mixes with blood. It damages liver if, taken regularly in large amount., (iii) The person loses sense of discrimination, under its influence., , (iv) Higher amount of consumption of, ethanol leads to loss of body control and, consciousness. It may ever cause death., Therefore, we should not drink alcohol under, any circumstances because it leads to wastage, of time, wealth and spoils health., 81. Alcohol as a fuel : Alcohol is added to petrol, upto 20%. The mixture is called 'gasol'. It is a, cleaner fuel because it creates less pollution., Alcohol, on combustion, gives CO2 and H2O, only, 82. Fermentation : It is a process in which, controlled microbial action takes place to give, useful products, e.g., Ethanol can be prepared, by fermentation of molasses., C12 H 22 O11 +H2O Invertase, , , Molasses, , C 6 H12 O 6 + C 6 H12 O 6, Glu cos e, , Fructose, , C 6 H12 O 6 Zymase, , 2C2H5OH + 2CO2, Glu cos e, , 83. Ethanoic acid (Acetic acid) CH3COOH :, Ethanoic acid is most commonly known as, acetic acid.

Other lower, carboxylic acids are also sour in taste., (iii) Ethanoic acid has boiling point 391 K., Carboxylic acids have higher boiling, points than corresponding alcohols,, aldehydes and ketones., (iv) Acetic acid is soluble in water, i.e., it is, miscible with water in all proportions., The lower carboxylic acids are soluble in, water but solubility in water decreases, with increase in molecular weight., (v) Acetic acid freezes at 290 K. Thus, in, cold weather crystallization of acetic acid, may take place that is why pure acetic, acid is called glacial acetic acid.

Cleansing Actions of Soaps and Detergents :, Soaps and detergents consist of a large, hydrocarbon taill with a negatively charged, head as shown in figures. The hydrocarbon, tail is hydrophobic (water-hating or water, repelling) and negatively charged head is, hydrophilic (water-loving)., In aqueous solution, water molecules being, polar in nature, surround the ions and not the, hydrocarbon part of the molecule, , When a soap or detergent is dissolved in, water, the molecules associate together as, clusters called, micelles as shown in figure (C), COO–Na+, long hydrocarbon ohain, (hydrophobic end), (Water-repellent), , Polar end, (hydrophillic), (water-loving), , (a) Hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic, (water-repellent) ends of a soap molecule

Soap micelle entraps the oily dirt particle, , The tails stick inwards and the heads outwards., In cleansing, the hydrocarbon tail attaches itself to, oily dirt. When water is agitated (Shaken, vigorously),the oily dirt tends to lift off from the, dirty surface and dissociate into fragments., This gives opportunity to other tails to stick to oil., The solution now contains small globules of oil, surround by detergent molecules., The negatively charged heads present in water, prevent the small globules from coming together, and form aggregates. Thus, the oily dirt is, removed., , In the past, detergents caused pollution in rivers, and waterbodies. The long carbon chain present in, detergents used earlier, contained lot of, branching. These branched chain detergent, molecules were degraded very slowly by the, micro-organims present in sewage discharge, septic tanks and water bodies. Thus, the, detergents persisted in water for long time and, made water unfit for aquatic life. Nowadays, the, detergents are made up of molecules in which, branching is kept at minimum. These are, degraded more easily than branched chain, detergents.
