25
Q

anomolous behaviour of C

A

small in size,high EN,high IE,unavailability of d orbital

26
Q

why covalency of C is limitted to 4 and others can expand their covalency

A

cos s and p orbitals of C is taking part in bonding..hence it can accomodate only 4 pair of electrons..others have d orbital and they can expand their covalency

27
Q

catenation?

A

carbon have the tendancy to link with one another through covalent bonds to form chains and rings

28
Q

how catenation possible in
C?

A

it has the ability to form ppi-ppi bond
small size
high EN

29
Q

allotropes of Carbon

A

diamond,graphite,fullerene

30
Q

order of IE

A

C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn

31
Q

hybridisation of diamond

32
Q

enthalpy of formation of diamond

A

1.90KJ/mol

33
Q

in diamond a carbon linked to four carbon in …….. faashion

A

tetrahedral

34
Q

c-c bond length in diamond

35
Q

in this structure ……….. covalent bonds are present

A

directional

36
Q

hardest substance on the earth

37
Q

it is used as an abrasive sharpening hard tools.which?

38
Q

1 carat diamond

39
Q

hybridisation of graphite

40
Q

enthalpy of formation of graphite

41
Q

in graphote layers are held by ……. force

A

van der waals force

42
Q

distance btw 2 layers

43
Q

each layer is composed of …………. rings of carbon atom

A

planar hexogonal rings

44
Q

c-c bond length within in the layer

45
Q

types of bonds btw carbon atom in hexagonal ring

A

3 sigma bonds btw 3 carbon atom.4th electrons forms pi bond

46
Q

why graphites conduct electricity?

A

electrons are mobile over the whole sheet

47
Q

graphite is used as a dry lubricant in machines running at high temperature,where oil cant be used .why?

A

graphites cleave easily btw the layers and therfore it is very soft and slippery

48
Q

which is the most pure form of carbon.and its hybridisationn?

A

fullerene,sp2

49
Q

how fulllerenes are prepared?

A

by heating graphite in an electric arc in the presence helium or argon..then condeses out C60 with C70 and other fullerenes

50
Q

C60 named as

A

Buckminster fullerence

51
Q

general name …….. refers to the family of spheroidal carbon cage molecules

A

fullerence

52
Q

shape of C60

A

soccer ball

53
Q

C60 contains

A

12 five membered ring
20 six membered rings
six membered rrings are fused to 5 membered rings and other 6 membered rings but 5 membered rings are only fused to 6 membered rings

54
Q

both c-c single bond and double bond are present in this structure

55
Q

which are the impure amorphous forms of graphites or fullerenes

A

carbon black,coke,charcoal

56
Q

……. is formed by burning hydrocarbon in limited air supply

A

carbon black

57
Q

charcoal and coke are obtained by

A

heating wood and ccoal respectively in absence of air

58
Q

why graphite is used for electrodes in batteries and industrial electrolysis.why?

A

graphite is a good conductor

59
Q

…… made from graphite are inert to dil. acids and allkalies

60
Q

being highly porous,activated charcoal is used in

A

adsorbing poisonous gas
