CBSE Chemistry Class 10/X :  Carbon and its Compounds

Q.1 Why is carbon tetravalent ?

Ans 1:Carbon atom has 4 electrons in the outermost shell.It needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet. Therefore , carbon is tetravalent . 

Q.2 The formula of a hydrocarbon is Cn H2n. Name the family to which it belongs and also predict its nature. 

Ans 2: The hydrocarbon belongs to alkenes It is unsaturated in nature . 

Q.3 What is the valency of carbon in CH3-CH3, CH2=CH2 and HC=CH ? 

Ans 3: The valency of carbon in all its compounds whether saturated or unsaturated is 4. 

Q.4 Out of butter and ground nut oil , which is unsaturated in Nature? 

Ans 4: Groundnut oil is unsaturated in nature . 

Q.5 Why is high temperature not favourable for alcoholic fermentation? 

Ans 5: The high temperature destroys the enzymes which are needed to carry fermentation .
