Some carbon-containing compounds are not classified as organic, including carbides, carbonates, and cyanides. In the given options, cyanides are considered as low-carbon compounds.
It is an allotrope of carbon with the formula C₆₀ in which the carbon atoms combine with each other to form a closed shape like a football.
The property of catenation is strong in carbon. Therefore, compounds of carbon are also found in the largest number in nature. Carbon is a tetravalent element and it forms long chains by joining its own atoms by a double bond (=), triple bond (≡), and single bond (-).
Boron, arsenic, and silicon are metalloid elements. These elements exhibit some metallic properties, but in some cases also possess non-metallic properties. Carbon (C) exhibits completely non-metallic properties, so it is not a metalloid.
Graphite, diamond, and C-60 Buckminsterfullerene are all allotropes of carbon (C), while methane (CH₄) is a compound made of carbon and hydrogen
Chromite is an oxide mineral (FeCr₂O₄) composed of chromium, iron, and oxygen, also known as iron chromium oxide.
Silicon dioxide or silica (SiO₂) is the oxide of silicon. It is a poor conductor of electricity, it is also not soluble in water and has a high melting point.
Amino acids are the building blocks or basic structural units of proteins.
Amino acids are the building blocks of a protein molecule. Amino acids are small organic molecules consisting of an alpha (central) carbon atom attached to an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a variable component (or side chain).
Phenyl mercuric acetate is an organic mercury compound with the chemical formula CH₃COOHgC₆H₅. Earlier this compound was used as a preservative in paints, etc. Spraying this compound on the leaves of plants reduces the rate of transpiration in them.
