Q. Assertion :Large number of organic compounds are formed with long carbon-chain. Reason: Maximum catenation occurs in carbon atoms.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct about carbon compounds?

(i) Carbon has the ability to form covalent bonds with other atoms of carbon giving rise to a large number of molecules through a self-linking property.

(ii) Carbon compounds do not show isomerism.

(iii) Carbon compounds are highly unstable compounds.

(iv) Carbon compounds have low melting and boiling points.

Q. Assertion :Carbon shows tetravalency in all carbon compounds. Reason: Carbon shares its four valence electrons with other atoms and forms four single covalent bonds to get the nearest noble gas configuration.

Q. Assertion :Catenation is the ability of an atom to form bonds with other atoms of the same element. It is exhibited by both carbon and silicon. Reason: Carbon exhibits catenation much more than silicon or any other element due to its smaller size which makes the

C - C

bonds strong while the

S i - S i

bonds are comparatively weaker due to its large size and therefore,

S i

does not have enough bond strength to hold together large molecules.

Q. Assertion :Why organic compounds are studied separately as 'Organic Chemistry'. Reason: There is a huge number of compounds of carbon due to its catenation and multiple bond formation property.
