Explanation

• Diamond is a naturally occurring allotropic form of carbon.
• Allotropy means a single element can exist in more than one form with different structures and properties.
• It is extremely hard.
• It has a high melting point.
• It is widely used in jewelry and cutting tools.

Additional information:

• Graphite – soft, good conductor
• Fullerenes (C60) – spherical molecules
• Carbon nanotubes – tubular, high strength
• Amorphous carbon – coal, soot
• Lonsdaleite – hexagonal diamond

Explanation

• Compounds with the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms are called isomers.
• Isomers can have different chemical and physical properties despite having the same number of atoms.

• Additional information:
  • Example of isomers: C₂H₆O → Ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH) and Dimethyl ether (CH₃OCH₃)
  • Isomerism is classified into structural isomers and stereoisomers.

Explanation

O negative (O⁻) blood group is called the universal donor.

It can be transfused to any blood group (A, B, AB, or O).

O⁻ lacks A, B, and Rh antigens, preventing immune reactions in recipients.

Explanation

• Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas.
• It is a colorless, non-flammable gas used in medicine.
• Nitrous oxide (N₂O) causes temporary laughing and relaxation.

Additional information:
