The Variety of Carbon Compounds

• Carbon - Organic compound
• Carbon - Metals and other nonmetal atoms
• Carbon - Has self-linking ability and carbon-to-carbon chains
• Carbon - Has 4 valence electrons
• Carbon - Has single, double, and triple bonds
• Chain - Series, c4
• Branch - Iso
• Ring - Cyclo or cycle
• Organic compound - Contains carbon and hydrogren
• Inorganic compound - Does not contain carbon and hydrogen
• Hydrocarbons - Made up of carbon and hydrons
• Hydrocarbon - Structure, type of covalent bond
• Organic compound - hydrocarbon
• Hydrocarbon - Consists of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons
• Alkanes - Single covalent bond, saturated
• Alkenes - One double covalent bond, unsaturated compounds
• Alkynes - One triple covalent bond, unsaturated
• Cycloalkanes - Ring structure
• Alkanes - CnH2n+2
• N - Number of carbon atoms in the molecule
• Methane - Simplest hydrocarbon
• Ethane and propane - LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas
• Alkenes - CnH2n
• Alkenes - Fuel, rubber, and plastics
• Ethene - Fruit and vegetable (ripe)
• Propene - Polypropylene plastics
• Alkyne - CnH2n-2
• Ethyne - Acetylene (welding metals)
• Cycloalkanes - CnH2n
• Cycloalkanes - Corners, carbon atoms, and polygons
• Cycloalkanes - Fuel production, solvents, anesthetic
• Aromatic hydrocarbons - Strong smell
• Aromatic hydrocarbons - Arene
• Aromatic hydrocarbons - Benzene ring (six member)
• August Kekule - (1865), German chemist, aromatic hydrocarbon
• Benzene - Simplest aromatic hydrocarbon with alternating single and double bonds
• Hydrocarbon derivatives - Hydrocarbon with at least one hydrogen atom replaced by another type of atom or group of atoms
• Functional group - The replacement atom or group of atoms, which renders the characteristic properties of the hydrocarbon derivative.
• Alcohols - Hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to carbon atom
• Alcohols - R-OH
