Diamond is a bad conductor Diamond is used as precious stone Diamond (impure) is used as abrasive C-C bond length in graphite is shorter than C-C bond of diamond Graphite is a better lubricant on moon than on the surface of earth Graphite is good current of current The hydrolysis of CCl4 is not possible but SiCl4 is easily hydrolysed Alkanes are more stable and less reactive in comparison to silanes Gaseous fuels are better fuels than solid and liquid fuels CO2 is gas while silica is solid. Carbon acts as an abrasive and also as a lubricant Diamond is covalent yet m.pt is very high Carbon monoxide is poisonous Carbon never shows coordination number greater than four while other members of carbon family show coordination number as high as six. Solid CO2 is known is dry ice CO2 is sparingly soluble in water but its solubility increases with increase in pressure. CCl4 does not act as Lewis acid while SiCl4 and SnCl4 acts as Lewis acid as well as their aqueous solutions are acidic CO2 is an acidic anhydride while PbO2 is basic anhydride Silanes are few in number where as alkanes are large in number. PbBr4 and PbF4 do not exist but PbCl4 exists Germanium and tin are reducing agents while lead is an oxidant

SnCl2 is solid but SnCl4 is liquid Tin vessels are not used for packing is cold countries SnCl2 gives white precipitate with HgCl2 which turns grey later on but SnCl4 does not A piece of tin foil is added to SnCl2 solution for preserving it Lead pollution is caused by car exhaust Radioactive materials are shielded by lead blocks Draw the structure of cyclic silicate (Si3O9)6- with proper lebelling Write down the structure of C3O2 SiF62- is known but SiCl62- is not why? What is the importance of ultra pure elemental silicon. How is obtained? How far do you agree with the phenomenon concept of inert pair effect? Justify your answer. The first ionization energy of carbon atom is greater than that of boron atom whereas the reverse is true for the second ionization energy. Diamond is very hard while graphite is soft. CO2 is an acidic anhydride while PbO2 is a basic anhydride Silicons are few in number and alkanes are large in number Silicon carbide is as hard as diamond. A statue coated with white lead on long exposure to atmosphere turns black although the original colour can be restored on treatment with hydrogen peroxide. When dilute solution of bismuth salt is added to sodium stannite solution, black precipitate appears. (SiH3)3N is a weaker base than (CH3)3N Predict whether the following molecules are isostructural or not explain the reason for your answer. (i) N(CH3)3 and (ii) N[Si(CH3)3]3

Carbon dioxide does not support combustion but a burning magnesium ribbon continues to burn in it.

Dilute HCl is preferred to dilute H2SO4 for the preparation of carbon dioxide from marble. Sn2+ and Fe3+ cannot coexist in the same solution. CCl4 is used as fire extinguisher but not CS2

Tin is used in making solder.

PbO doesnot dissolve in H2SO4 while SnO is soluble in H2SO4 Alkali cannot be stored in a Sn or Pb Vessel. Alkanes are more stable than silanes. Which among the following halides is coloured and why? Which crystalline allotropic form of carbon has the lowest energy? Sn2+(aq) may also be written as [Sn(H2O)6]2+, this ion is acidic by hydrolysis write a possible equation for this hydrolysis. If you have to dissolve lead (II) oxide PbO, which acid you will choose. Explain why the reactions with hydrochloric acid and sulphur dioxide show the oxidizing nature PbO2 Carbon and steam are heated. Silica is heated with CaF2 and conc.H2SO4
