Explain the following properties of carbon compounds with example : (a) Oxidation reaction (b) Addition reaction (c ) Substitution.

Answer»

Solution :(a) Oxidation reaction. All the carbon compounds on complete oxidation give carbondioxide. On controlled or incomplete oxidation we get different products (depending upon starting compounds).
`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH underset(K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7))OVERSET("ACIDIFIED")rarr CH_(3)COOH`
(B) Addition reaction. Compounds of carbon, having double or triple bond show addition reactions.
`CH_(2) = CH_(2) + HCl rarr CH_(3) - CH_(2) - Cl`
`CH -= CH + 2HCl rarr CH_(3) - CHCl_(2)`
(c ) SUBSTITUTION reaction. Carbon compounds having single covalent bonds show substitutions reactions.
