SCIENCE-10TH CBSE ANSWER KEY
CARBON AND ITS COMPOUND(1-5)
Question-1 Why
does graphite conducts electricity, but not diamond?
Solution: In case of diamond, each carbon atom of a single crystal is
surrounded by four other carbon atoms by covalent bonds such that they form
four corners of a regular tetrahedron. Because of four covalent bonds with each
carbon atoms there are no free electrons available. Due to the non-availability
of free electrons within crystalline structure, diamond acts as a bad conductor
of electricity.
In case of graphite, every
carbon atom in a single crystal is covalently bonded to three carbon atoms. As
each carbon atoms has four valence electrons one valence electron is left free
for each carbon atom. These free electrons can be easily made to flow within
the crystalline structure of graphite by applying electric potential. Thus,
graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
Question-2 Write three important uses of ethanol.
Solution: Ethanol is used as a solvent to
dissolve varnishes, medicines and other organic compounds
It is used as beverage (for drinking as an intoxicant) in different forms, viz; Brandy, Whisky etc.,
It is used for industrial uses in the name of denatured spirit.

Question-3State what you will observe when sugar crystals is heated strongly.State
what you will observe when sugar crystals is treated with conc. Sulphuric acid.
Solution: The sugar crystal will initially melt. Gradually, they turn
brown and start swelling up. They give off large amount of steam. Finally black
porous residue of carbon is left behind.
The sugar crystals will initially turn brown. Lot of frothing takes place with the evolution of large amount of heat and steam is given off. Finally a black porous residue of carbon is left behind.

Question-4 How are the molecules of aldehyde and
Ketone structurally different?
Solution: In aldehyde, the carbon atom of the carbonyl group is attached
to one alkyl group (R) and one hydrogen atom but in ketone, the carbonyl group
is attached to two alkyl groups.
Question-5 What change has been
made in the composition of detergents to make them biodegradable?
Solution: Detergents made from long chain hydrocarbons having the minimum
branching in their molecules are degraded more easily.
