Question 2.
Distinguish between:
(1) Ionic compounds and Covalent compounds
Answer:

Ionic compounds Covalent compounds
1. The compounds formed by transfer of electrons between two atoms are known as ionic compounds. 1. The compounds formed by sharing of electrons between two atoms are known as covalent compounds.
2. They are mostly solids. 2. They may be solid, liquid or gases.
3. They have comparatively high melting point and boiling point. 3. They have comparatively low melting point and boiling point.
4. They conduct electricity through a solution or in molten state. 4. They are generally non-conductors of electricity.

(2) Diamond and Graphite
Answer:

Diamond Graphite
1. In diamond, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms forming a hard and three-dimensional tetrahedral structure. 1. In graphite, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to three other carbon atoms forming two-dimensional hexagonal structure.
2. It is the hardest natural substance known. 2. It is soft and greasy.
3. It is non-conductor of electricity. 3. It is good conductor of electricity.
4. Chemically, diamond is unreactive. 4. Chemically, graphite is reactive.

(3) Saturated carbon compounds and Unsaturated carbon compounds
Answer:

Saturated carbon compounds Unsaturated carbon compounds
1. Compounds of carbon which have only single covalent bonds between carbon atoms are called saturated carbon compounds. 1. Compounds of carbon which have double or triple bonds between carbon atoms are called unsaturated carbon compounds.
2. They are less reactive. 2. They are more reactive.
3. For example, compounds of alkanes. 3. For example, compounds of alkenes and alkynes.
4. They burn with blue flame. 4. They burns with yellow sooty flame and produce black smoke.

Question 3.
Give scientific reasons for the following statements:
(1) Candle burns with a yellow flame.
Answer:
Candle is made-up of wax, which consists of saturated hydrocarbons containing 18 to 20 carbon atoms.

  • When a candle is lighted (ignited), the wax melts s which rises up the wick and gets covered by vapour. As a result, there is no proper mixing of O2 of air and wax vapours.
  • Therefore, here incomplete combustion of wax takes place, and complete combustion of wax does not take place.
  • Furthermore, incomplete combustion of wax s produces unburnt carbon particles, which rise up in the flame, get heated and imparts yellow colour to the flame.

JAC Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Carbon and Its Compounds

(2) Burning substances (fuels) burn with or without a flame.
Answer:
When the gaseous substances are heated, a luminous flame is seen and they start to glow.

  • Some liquid and solid fuels burn with a flame because on heating, their atoms easily get converted into vapours; and burn with a luminous flame starting with glow.
  • When volatile substances present in this type of fuel vapourises, then the fuel just glows red and gives out heat without flame.

(3) Diamond has high melting point, in spite of having covalent bonds.
Answer:
In diamond, each carbon atom is attached to four other carbon atoms by strong covalent bonds and forms three-dimensional tetrahedral structure.

  • A large amount of energy is needed to break the network of large number of covalent bonds.
  • Hence, diamond has high melting point.

Value Based Questions With Answers

Question 1.
One day Mudra was talking to her mother who was cooking vegetables in a stainless steel? utensils. Mudra observed that the bottom of cooking utensils was getting blackened from outside. She showed this to her mother. The mother told Mudra that the bottoms of all the cooking utensils kept on the gas stove were getting blackened for the last few days and she had tough time cleaning these utensils.

Being a science student of class X, Mudra S checked the gas stove thoroughly and could understand the reason for this problem. She explained everything to her mother. As Mudra S was getting late for school, she asked her mother to take a particular step to stop the blackening of cooking utensils. Mudra’s mother S did the same. The mother was glad that the? bottoms of cooking utensils kept on gas burner were no longer being blackened.

Questions:

  1. Why is the bottom of cooking utensils getting blackened? Explain.
  2. Apart from blackening the utensils, state two other disadvantages in this condition.
  3. What did Mudra find on checking the gas stove thoroughly which was causing this problem?
  4. What step was taken by Mudra to get rid of this problem?
  5. What type of flame was produced by the gas stove burner after the required step was taken by Mudra’s mother?
  6. What values are shown by Mudra in this act?

Answer:

  1. The fuel LPG is burning incompletely in the gas stove producing yellow, sooty flame. The unburnt particles present in sooty flame stick to the bottom of the cooking utensils and blacken it.
  2. Since the fuel is not burning completely, there is wastage of fuel. and The incomplete combustion of LPG puts unburnt carbon particles into the air and pollutes the environment.
  3. Mudra had found that the air holes of the gas stove were partially blocked.
  4. Mudra had suggested her mother to clean the holes of the gas burner properly to bring in free flow of air sufficient for the complete combustion of fuel.
  5. After the air holes of the gas stove were opened fully by proper cleaning, then sufficient air was made available for the complete combustion of fuel to produce smokeless, blue flame.’
  6. The values shown by Mudra are : (1) Good observation skills, (2) Understanding of combustion of fuels, (3) Application of knowledge in everyday life and (4) Concern for the environment.

Question 2.
Yug studies in tenth standard. One day his science teacher was discussing about oils and fats in the class. During this discussion, Yug came to know many facts about oils and fats which he did not know earlier. When Yug came back home from school, he asked his mother about oil she used to prepare food for the family.

His mother replied that she was using vegetable ghee for cooking food. Yug requested his mother not to use vegetable ghee because it is harmful for health. He asked her to use vegetable oil for cooking the food because vegetable oil is good for health. Yug’s mother agreed to do the same; and she started the use of vegetable oil.

Questions :

  1. Write the physical states of vegetable ghee and vegetable oil.
  2. How do vegetable oils and fats differ chemically?
  3. By which method, the vegetable oil is converted into vegetable ghee?
  4. Why is vegetable ghee not considered good for health?
  5. Name the most common animal fat consumed by people.
  6. Why is vegetable oil better for health?

Answer:

  1. Vegetable ghee is a solid and vegetable oil is a liquid at room temperature.
  2. Vegetable oils are unsaturated organic compounds while fats are saturated organic compounds.
  3. Vegetable oil is converted into vegetable ghee by hydrogenation of vegetable oil.
  4. Vegetable ghee consists of saturated fatty acids, which raise the level of bad cholesterol in blood after a long time use and increase the risk of heart disorder. Hence vegetable ghee is not good for health.
  5. Butter is the most common animal fat consumed by people.
  6. Vegetable oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, which does not increase the level of bad cholesterol in blood and reduces the risk of heart disorder. Therefore, vegetable oil is preferable and good for health.
