CARBON COMPOUNDS

Compounds that contains carbon as one of their constituent elements.

Organic compounds All carbon containing compounds,

except - oxides of carbon, CO2, CO - carbonate, CaCO3 - cyanides - metallic carbides

Inorganic compounds

Include all non-carbon-containing compounds and carbon-containing compounds (oxides of carbon, carbonate, cyanides, metallic carbides

* oxides of carbon, carbonate, cyanides, metallic carbides can be obtained from non-living things

Hydrocarbon Compounds containing carbon and hydrogen.

The simplest organic compoundsExample: Petroleum

Coal Natural gasRubber tree: latex

Non-hydrocarbonOrganic compounds in which some or all of

the hydrogen have been replaced by other atoms.Example: Sugar

TWO TYPES OF HYDROCARBON1. Saturated hydrocarbon

Hydrocarbon that are made entirely ofcarbon-carbon single bonds

2. Unsaturated hydrocarbonHydrocarbon that are containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond or triple bond or multiple bond

STRUCTURAL FORMULA

Shows how the atoms in a molecule are bonded together and by what types of bonds

MOLECULAR FORMULA

Shows the actual numbers and types of atoms present in a molecule

3

ISOMERISM

The ability of carbon atoms to form branched chains

ISOMERS

Molecules with the same molecular formula, but with different structural formulae

ALKYL GROUPS

An alkane from which one hydrogen atom has beenremove
