carbon bond

Bonding in Carbon - The Covalent Bond - Although there are more than hundred elements around us we do not find these elements in their native form in nature. This is because most of these elements are highly reactive. They interact with each other to form simple or com..

Reaction with hydrogen halides - Alcohols react with hydrogen halides according to the following equation..

Bond Energy or Bond Enthalpy - In chemical reactions the formation of a chemical bond is accompanied by the release of energy. Conversely energy has to be supplied for the breaking of a bond. Bond strengths are commonly described by their bondh..

Carbon atoms can satisfy their tetravalency either by single bonding, double bonding or triple bonding..

Can we imagine a world without oxygen, nitrogen, water or carbon dioxide? Without any of these there would be no life at all. All the above mentioned compounds are covalent compounds formed by sharing of electrons. Non-metal atoms share the valence electrons and form molecules. These shar..

Mixed Bonding - Apart from coordinate covalent compounds, there are some compounds, which contain both ionic and covalent compounds. For example, sodium hydroxide In sodium hydroxide, there is an ionic bond between sodium ion Na + and hydroxide ion, OH - . There is a single cova..

Inorganic compounds Carbon compounds with those elements having their origin in minerals, such as oxygen, halogens and metals are called inorganic compounds. Inorganic compounds of carbon do not have carbon-carbon bonds. For example, CO, CO 2 , S..

Carbon Cycle - Carbon is found as graphite and diamond in nature. It also occurs as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Because of the position of its electrons, an atom of carbon can form covalent bonds with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and..

Tetravalency in Carbon - A carbon atom has a total of six electrons occupying the first two shells, i.e., the K-shell has two electrons and the L-shell has four electrons. This distribution indicates that in the outermost shell there are one completely filled 's' orbital and two..
