Master Chemical Reactions of Carbon Compounds | Class 10 Carbon and Its Compounds

This video covers Chemical Reactions of Carbon Compounds from Chapter 4: Carbon and Its
Compounds (Class 10 Science) in a clear, exam-focused, and stress-free way. This is one of
those topics students often skip or feel confused about, but it is guaranteed to appear in the
CBSE board exam in MCQs, short answers, long answers, or case-study questions.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to master the entire topic in just 30 minutes using a simple 4-
point strategy that works for every reaction:
1. Name of the reaction
2. Which carbon compounds show the reaction
3. Required conditions or reagents
4. Balanced chemical equation

We start with Combustion Reactions, where carbon compounds burn in oxygen to form carbon
dioxide, water, heat, and light. You’ll clearly understand why saturated hydrocarbons burn with
a clean blue flame while unsaturated hydrocarbons give a yellow sooty flame an important
CBSE concept often asked in exams.

Next, we move to Oxidation Reactions, focusing mainly on alcohols. You’ll see how ethanol
gets oxidised to ethanoic acid using common oxidising agents like alkaline KMnO₄ and
acidified K₂Cr₂O₇, with clear equations and real-life examples like vinegar.

Then we explain Addition Reactions (Hydrogenation), where unsaturated hydrocarbons such
as alkenes and alkynes react with hydrogen in the presence of catalysts like nickel or
palladium. This reaction is directly linked to the conversion of vegetable oil into vanaspati
ghee and is very important for MCQs.

Finally, we cover Substitution Reactions, which occur in saturated hydrocarbons in the
presence of sunlight. You’ll understand how hydrogen atoms are replaced by halogens, along
with clear balanced equations and applications.

The video ends with quick MCQ-based revision, so you can confidently handle any question
from this topic in the board exam. Watch till the end to make sure no reaction is left unclear.
