Carbon and Its Compounds Carbon: Introduction Atomic Number: 6 Electronic Configuration: 2‚ 4 Valence electrons: 4 Property: Non-metal Abundance: Carbon is the 4th most abundant substance in universe and 15th most abundant substance in the earth’s crust. Compounds having carbon atoms among the components are known as carbon compounds. Previously‚ carbon compounds could only be obtained from a living source; hence they are also known as organic compounds. Bonding In Carbon: The Covalent Bond

Unsaturated organic compounds : Organic compounds in which a double or a triple bond exists between two carbon atoms in a carbon chain‚ are called unsaturated organic compounds. 10. Hydrocarbons : Organic compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms are called hydrocarbons. 11. Straight chain hydrocarbons : Hydrocarbons‚ in which all the carbon atoms are linked to one another in a straight chain

[Type the author name] | [The carbon tax] | Economics Assessment on the Carbon Tax. | The Carbon Tax - Economics The carbon tax will reduce emissions and have a positive effect on pollution minimisation. Nearly every news day we hear about the carbon tax. Many support it and many oppose it. Julia Gillard says it will cut emission whilst others just think it will drive up prices. The analysis undertaken by simulating the impact of a carbon tax of $23 a tonne reveals some interesting

through a buildup of greenhouse gases – primarily carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ and nitrous oxide. this is what the carbon footprints calls for CARBON FOOTPRINTS A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment‚ and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity‚ heating and transportation etc. The carbon footprint is a measurement of all greenhouse gases

Number:1024735 Week 15 Persuasive Essay Churches should be tax exempt for the good they do for the community around them. Some feel that the Church should pay taxes. Those people believe that the Church should not receive “special treatment” and should pay taxes like everyone else. If the Churches were to pay taxes‚ that would mean that the government was controlling the Church. Since the year 1894 Churches have been tax exempt as a way of separating the Church from the state. The Churches being tax exempt shows

one form. Carbon is one of the elements that contain many allotropes. Each allotrope of carbon has its own different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond‚ graphite‚ fullerenes‚ carbon nanotubes‚ carbon nanobuds‚ amorphous carbon‚ glassy carbon‚ lonsdaleite‚ and carbon nanofoam. Diamond is the best know allotrope of carbon. It is the hardest known natural mineral which makes it very rough. In the structure of the diamond‚ each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms and

Carbon monoxide‚ or CO for short‚ is a flammable‚ colorless‚ odorless‚ tasteless gas that is produced during incomplete combustion of fuel and it’s ability to do harm resides within the lack of knowledge and understanding of this gas by society.
