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 compounds
Example: Petroleum
Coal
Natural gas
Rubber tree: latex

Non-hydrocarbon
Organic compounds in which some or all of
the hydrogen have been replaced by other atoms.
Example: Sugar

TWO TYPES OF HYDROCARBON
1. Saturated hydrocarbon
Hydrocarbon that are made entirely of
carbon-carbon single bonds

2. Unsaturated hydrocarbon
Hydrocarbon 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 been

remove

FAMILY OF HYDROCARBONS
