  1. Amazing World of Carbon Compounds

  2. Introduction • At the beginning of 19th century organic compounds were defined as • Compounds directly or indirectly obtained from plants and animals are called as organic compounds • Compounds obtained from minerals are called as inorganic compounds • A change in defination took place by synthesis of an organic compound from an inorganic compound • WOHLER converted • Ammonium cyanate to Urea • (inorganic compd) (org compd) • New defination

  3. Compounds containing covalently bonded carbon atom or atoms are called as organic compounds • Carbon is covalently bonded with hydrogen oxygen, halogens, and sometimes with nitrogen and sulphur. • Carbon atomic no 6 shows EC :s 2,4 • Valency = 4 • Similarly • Nitrogen’s valency = 3 • Oxygen’s valency = 2 • Hydrogen valency = 1

  4. Properties of Organic Compounds • They have low melting and boiling points • They are generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents • They are poor conductors of heat and electricity

  5. Formation Of Methane • Methane(CH4) • In this compound one carbon atom is covalently bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms • C(2,4) H(1) • Electron-dot cross • structure • Structural formula • Molecular formula

  6. Formation of Oxygen Molecule • Oxygen molecule(O2) contains 2 covalently bonded oxygen molecule. • O(2,6) • Electron-dot cross • structure • Structural formula • Molecular formula

  7. Formation of Nitrogen Molecule • Nitrogen molecule(N2) contains 2 covalently bonded nitrogen atoms • N(2,5) • Electron-dot cross • Structure • Structural formula • Molecular formula

  8. Carbon Forms Infinite no of Compounds • Tetra valency C(2,4) shows valency=4 • Multiple bonding It can form carbon to carbon Single bond C - C Double bond C = C Triple bond C ≡ C

  9. Catenation • The property of direct bonding between atoms of same element to form a chain is known as catenation. • The remarkable property of carbon atom to form bonds with itself and give rise to a single large struture or chain is called catenation. • The chain can be straight chain, branched chain or may have network like structure • Straight chain branched chain network like struture • Eg
