What is hydrogenation? What is its industrial application?
What is hydrogenation? What is its industrial application?
Solution and Explanation
Hydrogenation is the process of the addition of hydrogen. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are added with hydrogen in the presence of palladium and nickel catalysts to give saturated hydrocarbons.
This reaction is applied in the hydrogenation of vegetable oils, which contain long chains of unsaturated carbons.

- More than three million carbon compounds have been discovered in the field of chemistry. The diversity of these compounds is due to the capacity of carbon atoms for bonding with one another as well as with other atoms. Most of the carbon compounds are poor conductors of electricity and have low melting and boiling points.

Allotropes of Carbon
The existence of a chemical element in one or more physical forms happening in the same physical state is called Allotropes or allotropy. Allotropes may show different physical or chemical states turning on the atom arrangement or the number of existent atoms. While carbon and sulfur is the common element presenting allotropy. Carbon can make further allotropes due to its five-membered valency.

Allotropes of Carbon:
Carbon is part of a p-block element.
- The atomic number of carbon = 6
- It belongs to group 14.
- It makes up about 18.5% of the human body by mass.
Carbon has only two types of allotropes, such as;
- Crystalline
- Amorphous
The crystalline form of carbon consists of allotropes like;
- Diamond
- Graphite
- Fullerenes
The amorphous form of carbon consists of allotropes like;
- Coal
- Coke
- Wood charcoal
- Animal charcoal
- Lampblack
- Gas carbon
