Study Notes
Carbon: An Important Element
- Carbon is a non-metallic element found abundantly in nature, both free and in compounds.
- Carbon's symbol is C, atomic number is 6, atomic mass is 12, electron configuration is 2,4, and valency is 4.
- Carbon is a key component of organic compounds, from foodstuffs to fuels.
- Organic compounds derived from plants and animals.
- Inorganic compounds come from minerals.
- Carbon is present in DNA and RNA.
Allotropes of Carbon
- Carbon exists in different forms called allotropes, with different physical properties despite the same chemical properties.
- Crystalline allotropes include diamond and graphite.
- Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring substance, has high melting and boiling points with a density of 3.5 g/cm³.
- Graphite is soft, slippery, and a conductor of electricity. Graphite has a layered structure with free electrons in each layer. Its density ranges from 1.9 to 2.3 g/cm³.
Fullerene: Another Allotrope
- Fullerene is a carbon allotrope.
- Buckminsterfullerene (C60) is a spherical fullerene molecule.
- Fullerene molecules occur in small numbers in soot.
- Fullerene is used as an insulator and a catalyst in water purification.
Coal and Coke
- Coal, a fossil fuel, is a non-crystalline form of carbon.
- Coal types include peat, lignite, bituminous coal, and anthracite, in increasing order of carbon content. Anthracite is the purest form.
- Coke is a form of carbon remaining after removing coal gas.
- Coke is used as fuel in factories and homes and as a reducing agent.
Hydrocarbons (Basic Organic Compounds)
- Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms.
- Methane (CH4) is a common hydrocarbon.
- Methane is a colorless gas that is highly flammable and occurs in natural gas. Its melting point is -182.5°C and its boiling point is -161.5°C. Its density is less than that of water.
- Methane is important in various industrial applications as a fuel.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas.
- CO2 occurs naturally in the atmosphere.
- CO2 is released during combustion.
- It is soluble in water.
- It is used in various applications, including fire extinguishers, aerated drinks and cold storage.
Biogas Production
- Biogas plants use anaerobic microbes to produce biogas from organic waste.
- Biogas is a methane-rich fuel.
