Carbon and Its Compounds | Full Chapter in ONE SHOT | Class 10th Science 🔥

Introduction to Carbon: Carbon is a non-metal that can form four covalent bonds, allowing it to create a vast array of compounds.

Allotropes of Carbon: The most common allotropes include diamond, graphite, and fullerenes, each exhibiting unique physical properties.

Carbon Compounds: Carbon can form both organic and inorganic compounds, with organic compounds being primarily based on carbon atoms.

Hydrocarbons: These are compounds made up of only carbon and hydrogen, and can be classified into aliphatic (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes) and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Functional Groups: The presence of functional groups such as -OH (alcohols), -COOH (carboxylic acids), and -NH2 (amines) significantly influences the properties and reactivity of organic compounds.
