Carbon is a fundamental building block of life and forms millions of known compounds due to its properties of catenation, tetravalency, and isomerism. Carbon has multiple allotropes including diamond, graphite, and buckministerfullerene that differ in how carbon atoms are bonded. Diamond has carbon atoms bonded in a rigid 3D structure while graphite has layers of hexagonal arrays with double and single bonds between carbon atoms in each layer.
Carbon being the most versatile element on this earth is also the most important element for mankind. Carbon (from Latin: carbo "coal") is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. Carbon makes up only about 0.025 percent of Earth's crust.
Myself being as a class 10 CBSE student; I understand the difficulties faced by the students.
so refer this presentation to have a well understanding over a difficult chapter.
PLEASE DO FOLLOW ME FOR FURTHER UPDATES!!
Carbon belongs to the group IV of the periodic table.
It has four electrons in its outermost orbit, so its valency is four.
Carbon is a non-metal.
Why so many Carbon Compounds in nature
Because carbon is chemically unique.
Only carbon atoms have the ability to combine with themselves to form long chains
The number of carbon compounds is larger than that of all other elements put together.
Occurrence of carbon
The name ‘carbon’ is derived from the Latin
word ‘carbo’ meaning coal. Carbon is found in
nature in free as well as compound state. Carbon in
the free state is found as diamond and graphite, and
in the combined state in the following compounds.
1. As carbon dioxide and in the form of carbonates
such as calcium carbonate, marble, calamine
(ZnCO3)
2. Fossil fuel – coal, petroleum, natural gas
3. Carbonaceous nutrients – carbohydrates,
proteins, fats
4. Natural fibres – cotton, wool, silk
Properties of carbon
Allotropic nature of Carbon
Allotropy - Some elements occur in nature in more than one form. The chemical properties
of these different forms are the same but their physical properties are different. This
property of elements is called allotropy. Like carbon, sulphur and phosphorus also exhibit
allotropy.
Allotropes of carbon
A. Crystalline forms
1. A crystalline form has a regular and definite arrangement of atoms.
2. They have high melting points and boiling points.
3. A crystalline form has a definite geometrical shape, sharp edges and plane surfaces.

Isomerism
History
In the year 1827, chemistry scholar Friedrich Woehler prepared cyanic acid and got surprised that the chemical composition of the formed substance was identical to the fulminic acid but the properties of this acid are very much different. This finding created shockwaves in the science scholar community as at that time it was considered that chemical compounds can only have different properties if they have different elemental
One of the most essential features of organic molecules is their propensity compositions. After some discoveries of some sort, this was considered a scientific phenomenon and Jacob Berzelius named this phenomenon Isomerism.
What is isomerism?
to show isomerism. Two or more compounds with the same molecular formula but different physical and chemical properties are known as isomers, and this property of a compound is known as Isomerism.
Types of Isomerism
Isomerism can be classified into two categories as follows:
• Structural or constitutional isomerism
• Stereoisomerism
Structural Isomerism
The constitution of a molecule refers to the quantity, kind, and connection of its atoms. The structural isomers or constitutional isomers differ in the connection of their atoms, and this phenomenon is known as structural isomerism. It is also known as constitutional isomerism.
Because they have the same molecular formula, ethanol, and dimethyl ether are isomers. C2H6O. Because the atoms in each chemical are bonded differently, they are structural isomers. The following are some examples of structural isomerism in various forms:
• Chain isomerism
• Position isomerism
• Functional isomerism
• Metamerism
• Tautomerism
• Ring chain isomerism
Chain Isomerism
Chain isomers are isomeric substances that differ solely in the arrangement of carbon atoms in the base chain, and chain isomerism is isomerism between them. The carbon atom chain or skeleton differs amongst isomers of this type.
Carbon atoms can be arranged in a straight or branched chain. Chain isomerism does not exist in molecules comprising up to three carbon atoms since they are a continuous chain with no chance of branching. It is demonstrated for compounds with four or more carbon atoms.
• Chain isomerism in alkanes: Alkanes containing four or more carbon atoms. For example, Two chain isomers are represented by the chemical formula C4H10.
• Chain isomerism in alkenes: When writing chain isomers for alkenes, the position of the double bond should not be modified. For example, Two chain isomers are represented by the chemical formula C4H8.
Position Isomerism
Position isomerization is a phenomenon that occurs when two or more compounds differ in the position of a component atom or functional group on the carbon skeleton.
C3H8O, for example, is made up of two alcohols:
Functional Isomerism
Two or more molecules with the same chemical formula but distinct functional groups are called functional isomers. Functional isomerism is the term for this occurrence.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. The Importance of Carbon
• The name carbon comes from the Latin word carbo, which
means coal.
• The earth’s crust has only 0.02% carbon in the form of
minerals and the atmosphere has 0.03% of carbon dioxide
and yet is present in almost every sphere of life.
• Carbon is life’s fundamental building block. Carbon dating
is used for determining the age of prehistoric samples
4. • The numbers of carbon compounds whose formulae are
known to chemists was recently estimated to be in
millions, this outnumbers the compounds of all other
elements put together
• This is due to 3 properties: Catenation, Tetravalency
and Isomerism
5. Catenation
Compounds may have long chains of carbon, branched chains of carbon or even
carbon atoms arranged in rings.
In addition, carbon atoms may be linked by single, double or triple
bonds.
Compounds of carbon, which are linked by only single
bonds between the carbon atoms are called Saturated Compounds.
Compounds of carbon having double or triple bonds between their
carbon atoms are called Unsaturated Compounds.
6. Tetravalency
• Since carbon has a valency of four, it is capable of bonding
with four other atoms of carbon or atoms of some other
mono-valent element
• Again the bonds that carbon forms with most other
elements are very strong making these compounds
exceptionally stable. One reason for the formation of
strong bonds by carbon is its small size. This enables the
nucleus to hold on to the shared pairs of electrons
strongly. The bonds formed by elements having bigger
atoms are much weaker
7. Isomerism
Isomerism is the phenomenon in which more than one compounds have the same
chemical formula but different chemical structures
8. Allotropes of Carbon
The element carbon occurs in different forms in nature with
widely varying physical properties. Both diamond and
graphite are formed by carbon atoms, the difference lies in
the manner in which the carbon atoms are bonded to one
another.
9. Allotropes of Carbon
The element carbon occurs in different forms in nature
with widely varying physical properties. Both diamond
and graphite are formed by carbon atoms, the
difference lies in the manner in which the carbon
atoms are bonded to one another.
10. Diamond
Each carbon atom is bonded to four other
carbon atoms forming a rigid three
dimensional structure.
11. Graphite
In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three
other carbon atoms in the same plane giving a hexagonal array.
One of these bonds is a double-bond, and thus the valency of
carbon is satisfied. Graphite structure is formed by the
hexagonal arrays being placed in layers one above the other.
12. Buckministerfullerene
Fullerenes form another class of carbon allotropes. The first
one to be identified was C-60 which has carbon atoms
arranged in the shape of a football. Since this looked like the
geodesic dome designed by the US architect Buckminster
Fuller, the molecule was named fullerene.
