Carbon and its interactions Organic Compounds Carbon and its interactions

Carbon Valence of 4 Covalent bonding Any particle (element or compound) attached to a carbon atom is called a functional group Functional groups can be simple atoms (Hydrogen) or complex molecules Will form single, double or triple covalent bonds

Carbon - Nomenclature Generally, hydrocarbons have a two part name; Prefixes are named for the number of carbons in the longest continuous chain 1 Meth 6 Hex 2 Eth 7 Hept 3 Prop 8 Oct 4 But 9 Non 5 Pent 10 Dec

Carbon - Nomenclature Suffix indicates the type of molecule or compound yne means triple bonds hydrogen ane means single bonds Hydrogen ene means double bonds hydrogen

Carbon – Functional Groups Several functional groups commonly found in biological compounds

Carbon – Functional Groups

Carbon - Numbering Organic molecules are numbered such that the functional group has the smallest number possible Therefore based on the name and the numbering sequence we can reproduce the exact structure of any organic compound.
