Carbon and its Compounds

is a versatile element that forms the basis for all living organisms and many of the things we use.

This large variety of compounds is formed by carbon because of its and the property of catenation that it exhibits.

Such bonds which are formed by the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms are known as .

Compounds of carbon, which are linked by only single bonds between the carbon atoms are called compounds.

Compounds of carbon having double or triple bonds between their carbon atoms are called compounds.

Carbon has the unique ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon, giving rise to large molecules. This property is called .

Compounds with identical molecular formula but different structures are called .

All those carbon compounds which contain just carbon and hydrogen are called .

The saturated hydrocarbons are called .

The unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain one or more double bonds are called .

Those containing one or more triple bonds are called .

A series of compounds in which the same functional group substitutes for hydrogen in a carbon chain is called a .

A three-carbon chain with a double bond would be called .

A three-carbon chain with triple bond, it would be called .

is a chemical process or a reaction between Fuel (Hydrocarbon) and Oxygen.

is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion.

is a reaction in which one molecule combines with another molecule to form a larger molecule with no other products.

is a type of reaction in which one atom or a group of atoms takes the place of another atom.
