Chemistry Worksheets Class 10 on Chapter 4 Carbon and Its compounds with Answers - Set 1

All living things are made of carbon. The amount of carbon in the earth’s crust and atmosphere is quite small. The earth’s crust contains only 0.02 percent carbon in the form of minerals (such as carbonates, hydrogen carbonates, coal, and petroleum), while the atmosphere contains 0.03 percent carbon dioxide. Despite the fact that there is only a small amount of carbon in nature, the importance of carbon appears to be enormous.
