(a) Write the formula and draw electron dot structure of carbon tetrachloride.
(b) What is saponification? Write the reaction involved in this process.
Name the reaction which is commonly used in the conversion of vegetable oils to fats. Explain the reaction involved in detail.
(a) What are hydrocarbons? Give examples.
(b) Give the structural differences between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons with two examples each.
(c) What is a functional group? Give examples of four different functional groups.
A salt X is formed and a gas is evolved when ethanoic acid reacts with sodium hydrogencarbonate. Name the salt X and the gas evolved. Describe an activity and draw the diagram of the apparatus to prove that the evolved gas is the one which you have named. Also, write chemical equation of the reaction involved.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain multiple bonds between the two C-atoms and show addition reactions. Give the test to distinguish ethane from ethene
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. Compare the ability of catenation of the two elements. Give reasons.
In electron dot structure, the valence shell electrons are represented by crosses or dots.
