Question

Explain carbon compound like bicarbonate, side carbide , cyanides and oxide in inorganic chemistry

Open in App
Solution

Inorganic carbon compounds are such that do not have C-H bond and C-C bonds simultaneously in their structure (like the organic compounds). Inorganic compounds have either one of these bonds or carbon atom bonded to a different element other than C or H.
Bicarbonate compounds have C-H bond as in Calcium bicarbonate, Ca(HCO3)2.
Carbides are composed of carbon and a less electronegative element such as calcium, tungsten, silicon etc. E.g.- Silicon carbide, SiC.
Cyanide compounds contain the monovalent combined group CN known as the cyano group, which consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom. E.g.- Hydrogen cyanide, HCN.
Oxide is a compound that contains atleast one oxygen atom and another element. E.g.- CO2.
