Question

Carbon compounds :
(i) are good conductors of electricity.
(ii) are bad conductors of electricity.
(iii) have strong forces of attraction between their molecules.
(iv) have weak forces of attraction between their molecules.
The correct statements are :

• A. (i) and (ii)
• B. (ii) and (iii)
• C. (ii) and (iv)
• D. (i) and (iii)

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(ii) and (iv)

Answer 2

Carbon compounds are generally poor conductors of electricity because they lack free electrons or ions. Additionally, these compounds exhibit weak intermolecular forces, leading to lower boiling and melting points.
