FAQs on Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur: Carbon And Its Compounds, Solutions- 2 - Science Class 10

1. What are carbon compounds?
Ans. Carbon compounds are organic compounds that contain carbon atoms bonded to other elements, such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, etc. These compounds are the basis of life and are found in various forms, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and nucleic acids.
2. What is the importance of carbon compounds?
Ans. Carbon compounds are essential for life as they form the building blocks of all living organisms. They are involved in various biological processes, including metabolism, energy production, and structural support. Carbon compounds also play a crucial role in industries, such as the production of fuels, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and dyes.
3. How are carbon compounds classified?
Ans. Carbon compounds can be classified into different categories based on their molecular structure and functional groups. Some common classifications include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines, and amides. These classifications help in understanding the properties and reactions of carbon compounds.
4. What are some examples of carbon compounds?
Ans. There are numerous examples of carbon compounds. Some common examples include methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), ethanol (C2H5OH), acetic acid (CH3COOH), glucose (C6H12O6), proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and DNA. These compounds have diverse functions and are present in our daily lives.
5. How do carbon compounds contribute to environmental pollution?
Ans. Carbon compounds, especially those derived from fossil fuels, contribute to environmental pollution. When these compounds are burned or released into the atmosphere, they can lead to the formation of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), which contribute to climate change. Additionally, carbon compounds can also cause air pollution and water pollution if not properly treated or disposed of.
