How to write Chemical Formula
In order to write a chemical formula, it is important to know the symbol of the elements present in the compound, formula of the radicals and the valency of the elements in that compound. Following points should be kept in mind while writing a chemical formula. Most of the compounds are binary compounds, i.e. they… Continue reading How to write Chemical Formula
Types of Chemical Formulae
While the term ‘chemical formula’ typically refers to the molecular formula of a compound (which denotes the total number of atoms of each constituent element in one molecule of the compound), the compositions of chemical compounds can be expressed in several ways, as listed in this subsection. Molecular Formula: The molecular formula provides insight into… Continue reading Types of Chemical Formulae
Chemical Formula Of Common Compounds
The chemical formula of a compound is a symbolic representation of its chemical composition. Chemical formulae provide insight into the elements that constitute the molecules of a compound and also the ratio in which the atoms of these elements combine to form such molecules. For example, the chemical formula of water, which is H2O, suggests… Continue reading Chemical Formula Of Common Compounds
Frequently Asked Questions-FAQs
1. Why is carbon so important?Ans: Carbon is a major component of living beings. Carbon is one of the basic building blocks for organic life together with nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon is about 18% of the human body. Due to its unique ability to form four separate bonds with other elements, Carbon is significant. 2.… Continue reading Frequently Asked Questions-FAQs
Uses of carbon and its compounds
Carbon is the basic building block of life. Hydrocarbons are the compounds of carbon and hydrogen are the major source of fuel. Carbon based compounds like ethylene, polypropene, polystyrene etc. are widely used in polymerisation process. They are used in the synthesis of many dyes and drugs. Diamond is a allotrope of carbon used for cutting… Continue reading Uses of carbon and its compounds
Some carbon based compounds
Carbon -hydrogen compounds: Hydrocarbons are the compound of carbon having a carbon hydrogen bond. Such as CH4, C2H6, C2H4, C6H6 etc. Carbon-oxygen compounds: There are many oxide of carbon compounds are there such as carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon trioxide (CO3) etc. Carbon-sulfur compounds: The carbon-sulphide compounds are carbon disulfide (CS2) and carbonyl sulfide… Continue reading Some carbon based compounds
Do you know what does allotrope of carbon means?
Allotrope is nothing but the existence of an element in many forms which will have different physical property but will have similar chemical properties and its forms are called allotropes of allotropic forms. Allotropes are defined as the two or more physical forms of one element. These allotropes are all based on carbon atoms but exhibit… Continue reading Do you know what does allotrope of carbon means?
Catenation Property of carbon
In Organic Chemistry, everything is surrounded by carbon compounds. It is one of the most essential components of living organisms. There are two stable isotopes of carbon 12C and 13C. After these two one more isotope of carbon is present 14C. Carbon is used for radiocarbon dating and it is also a radioisotope with a half-life… Continue reading Catenation Property of carbon
Carbon and its Compounds
What are Carbon Compounds? Carbon compounds are present everywhere i.e. in the food that we eat, the clothes that we wear and even in the lead of the pencil by which we write. The atomic number of carbon is 6 and the atomic mass is 12.01gmol-1. Carbon is a member of the 14th group. According to the… Continue reading Carbon and its Compounds
