CARBON AND ITS
COMPOUNDS
Atmosphere has 0.03% of carbon dioxide.

Low melting & boiling points as compared to


ionic compounds.

Forces of attraction between the molecules are not very strong.


Earth’s crust has 0.02% carbon in form of minerals (like carbonates,
hydrogen carbonates, coal and petroleum).
Most carbon compounds are poor conductors of electricity because
they lack free electrons and bonding in these compounds does not
give rise to any ions.

CARBON VALENCY
The atomic number of carbon is 6 and its valency is 4.
Carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, needs to gain or lose 4
electrons to attain noble gas configuration.
If a carbon atom gained 4 electrons (forming C4– anion), it would have
6 protons and 10 electrons, which would make it to highly unstable.
If a carbon atom loses four electrons ( forming C4+ cation), it
would require a large amount of energy to remove them.
Carbon's bonds with oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine
most other elements are very strong( exceptionally stable).
Carbon's small size allows its nucleus to hold on to the shared pairs of
electrons strongly.
COVALENT BONDING
Bonds formed by sharing an electron pair between two atoms are known
as covalent bonds.
Covalently bonded molecules have strong bonds, but weak intermolecular
forces.
Each atom contributes one electron from their outer shell, but some
atoms can react to make multiple covalent bonds.
The atoms of other elements like hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, chlorine
also form bonds by sharing of electrons.

VERSATILE NATURE OF CARBON


Tetravalency : Carbon has four valence electrons, which means it can
form up to four covalent bonds with other atoms.
Catenation: Carbon atoms can bond together to form long chains,
branched chains, and rings.
Carbon-carbon bond is very strong and hence stable.
Polymerization : Chemical reaction that joins monomer molecules to
form larger molecules, called polymers. Ex : Polyethylene, Polyesters.
Isomerism : Carbon compounds having the same molecular formula but
different structural formulae are called isomers. Ex : C 4 H6
POLYMERIZATION PROCESSES
Small molecules called monomers chemically bond to form
large, chain-like structures known as polymers.
This process is fundamental in creating materials like
plastics, rubber, and fibers.
Monomers are simple molecules that can join together to
form polymers.
Example: Ethylene monomers can polymerize to form
polyethylene, a common plastic.

The difference between C2H6 and C3H8 is also -CH2 unit.
NOMENCLATURE OF CARBON COMPOUNDS
The nomenclature of carbon compounds is based on the number of
carbon atoms in the compound, the type of bonds between the carbon
atoms, and the presence of functional groups.
The prefix of the compound's name indicates the number of carbon
atoms. Ex: Alkane with seven carbon atoms (heptane).
The suffix of the compound's name indicates the type of bonds between
the carbon atoms. Ex: Alkane - ane, Alkenes - ene, etc.

IMPORTANT CARBON COMPOUNDS
ETHANOIC ACID
Ethanoic acid is commonly called acetic acid and belongs to a group of acids called
carboxylic acids.
5-8% solution of acetic acid in water is called vinegar and is used widely as a
2
preservative in pickles.
The melting point of pure ethanoic acid is 290 K and hence it often freezes during
winter in cold climates, aka glacial acetic acid.
Carboxylic acids are characterized by a special acidity, unlike mineral acids like
HCl, which are completely ionized, carboxylic acids are weak acids.

REACTIONS OF ETHANOIC ACID : REACTION WITH A BASE


N a OH + CH 3 COOH CH 3 COONa + H 2 O
Like mineral acids, ethanoic acid reacts with a base such as sodium hydroxide
to give a salt (sodium ethanoate or commonly called sodium acetate) and water.

REACTIONS OF ETHANOIC ACID : CARBONATES & HYDROGEN CARBONATES


2CH 3 COOH + Na 2 CO 3 2CH 3 COONa + H 2O + CO 2

CH 3 COOH + N a HCO 3 CH3 COONa + H 2O + CO2


Ethanoic acid reacts with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates to give rise to a salt,
carbon dioxide and water.
The salt produced is commonly called sodium acetate.
ETHANOL
Ethanol is a liquid at room temperature and it is a good solvent.
Ethanol is commonly called alcohol and is the active ingredient of all
alcoholic drinks.
It is also used in medicines such as tincture iodine, cough syrups, and
many tonics.
Ethanol is also soluble in water in all proportions.
Consumption of small quantities of dilute ethanol causes drunkenness.
