Food, clothes, medicines, books, or many of the things. are all based on this versatile
element carbon. In addition, all living structures are carbon based. The amount
of carbon present in the earth’s crust and in the atmosphere is quite meagre. The
earth’s crust has only 0.02% carbon.In spite of this small amount of carbon
available in nature, the importance of carbon seems to be immense.
Q (6): In what form, carbon is present in atmosphere?
(a) Nitrogen
(b) Oxygen
(c) Carbon dioxide
(d) All of the above
Q (7): In what forms carbon mineral are presented in earth's crust?
(a) Carbonates, hydrogen-carbonates
(b) Coal and petroleum
(c) All of the above
Q (8): All the living things, plants and animals, are made up of carbon based compounds,
which are called as _________
(a) Organic compounds
(b) Carbonic compounds
(c) Inorganic compounds
(d) None of these
Q (9): State true or false: The materials like cotton,silk,wool,nylon which are used for
making clothes are carbon compounds.

Diamond is a well known allotrope of carbon. The hardness and high dispersion of light of
diamond make it useful for both industrial applications and jewelry. Diamond is
the hardest known natural mineral. This makes it an excellent abrasive and makes it
hold polish and luster extremely well.
Q (11): The compact and rigid ______ -dimensional arrangement of carbon atoms in
diamond gives it a high density.
(a) 2 (b) 3
(c) 1 (d) 5
Q (12): Each carbon atom in the diamond crystal is linked to __________ other carbon
atoms by covalent bond.
(a) 6 (b) 3
(c) 2 (d) 4
Q (13): Diamonds can be synthesised by subjecting pure carbon to
(a) Very high Pressure
(b) Very high temperature
(c) Both (1) and(2)
(d) Low Temperature
Q (14): State true or false: The synthetic diamonds are small and distinguishable from
natural diamonds.
(a) TRUE (b) FALSE
Q (15): State true or false: Diamond conduct electricity due to unavailability of free
electrons.
(a) TRUE (b) FALSE
Case study:

We ourselves are made up of carbon compounds. The numbers of carbon compounds

whose formulae are known to chemists was recently estimated to be in millions!
