Carbon Compounds Chapter 4
Organic Compounds and CARBON • Contain carbon and are the molecules of life • CARBON – can form many molecules by bonding to 4 other atoms because: • C has 4 valence e- • C can form up to 4 covalent bonds • C can form single, double or triple covalent bonds • C can form large molecules (ex - macromolecules) that can be rings, chains, or branched
Hydrocarbons are compounds made only of H atoms that are covalently bonded to C Do you remember alkanes, alkenes and alkynes? Do you remember naming organic compounds? C2H6 C3H8
Practice Draw the following hydrocarbons with the appropriate number of C and H for each Ethylene Butane 2-butyne
Isomers • Compounds with the same numbers of atoms (molecular formula) but different structures, and therefore different properties
