CARBON COMPOUND UNIQUE
C H H H H Single covalent bond Single covalent bond UNIQUE
The atomic radii of C atom is relatively small STRONG
Double covalent bond Triple covalent bond c c UNIQUE
UNIQUE carbon has the unique ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon, giving rise to large molecules straight Chain branch Straight chain Branch chain
Position of C Atom in Carbon Chain Primary C atom (1o) Secondary C atom (2o) Tertiary C atom (3o) Quaternary C atom (4o)
Primary : 5 Tertiary : 1 Secondary : 3 Quaternary : 1
CONCLUSION The uniqueness of carbon Position of C Atom in Carbon Chain
