NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 4 Carbon and its Compounds NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 4: Carbon and its Compounds NCERT Questions Question 1 What would be the electron dot structure of carbon dioxide which has the formula \( CO_2 \)? Show Answer Explanation Answer: In order to complete its octet, the carbon atom shares its four valence electrons with the four electrons of two oxygen atoms, forming double bonds between the carbon atom and each oxygen atom. Explanation: The atomic number (Z) for carbon is 6 and its electronic configuration is 2, 4. Carbon has four valence electrons. Each oxygen atom (Z = 8) has six valence electrons (2, 6). By sharing electrons, all atoms achieve a stable noble gas electron configuration. Question 2 What would be the electron dot structure of a molecule of sulphur which is made up of eight atoms of sulphur? Show Answer Explanation Answer: Each sulphur atom is linked to similar atoms on either side by single covalent bonds to complete it…
