Carbon is found differ in many properties from the rest of the members of group 14. This is because of the following : (i) Its smallest size (ii) Its high electronegativity (iii) Its property to catenate (iv) Absence of d-orbitals in it.
Some of the properties in which it differs from other members are,
(1) The melting and boiling points of carbon are very high as compared to the rest to the members of the family.
(2) Carbon in its diamond form is one of the hardest substance known.
(3) It has maximum tendency to show catenation.
(4) Carbon has high tendency to form Pπ- Pπ multiple bonds with other elements like nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur etc. Other members of the family form Pπ- dπ bonds and that also to a lesser extent.
(5) CO2 is a gas while the dioxides of all other members are solids.
(6) Carbon is not affected by alkalies whereas other members react on fusion. For example, silicon form silicates, Si + 2NaOH + 1/2 O2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2..

What the percent of carbon-12 and carbon-13 isotopes in nature?
Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are both stable isotopes of carbon. Carbon-12 makes up 98.89 percent of carbon in nature, while carbon-13 makes up only 1.1 percent of carbon.
What is the nature of CO2?
CO2, or carbon dioxide, is gaseous in nature.
Is SnS2 soluble in the nonpolar solvent carbon disulfide?
Yes, SnS2 is soluble in carbon disulfide because both compounds are nonpolar in nature. The nonpolar nature of SnS2 allows it to dissolve in nonpolar solvents like carbon disulfide.
What nature of compound is CO2?
Carbon dioxide is an inorganic gas.
Will all of the carbon-14 in nature eventually disappear?
No, carbon-14 is continually being produced in the atmosphere by cosmic rays. While individual carbon-14 atoms will decay over time, new ones are constantly being created. This creates a balance in the amount of carbon-14 in nature.
