Answer to Problem 24.1QP

Catenation of the carbon atom (a).

Explanation of Solution

To find: Carbon forms more compound than the other element

Catenation of the carbon atom.

Carbon forms the covalent bond with other atoms or other carbon atoms through catenation and forms longer chain and structures.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Carbon forms more compound than the other element the reason should be identified.

Answer to Problem 24.1QP

Tetravalency of the carbon atom (b).

Explanation of Solution

To find Tetravalency of the carbon atom

Electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s22p2.

The outer electronic configuration of the carbon is four electrons that will be participating in the bond formation. Totally carbon will form four covalent bonds with the other atoms or carbon atoms. Moreover size of the carbon atom is small which form more strong covalent bond because of these reasons which make the Carbon forms more compound than the other element.
