Properties of Carbon
• Carbon atoms nearly always form covalent bonds.
• Three factors make carbon-carbon bonds unique:
• First, carbon-carbon bonds are quite strong
• Second, carbon compounds are not very reactive.
• Third, carbon can form up to four single covalent
bonds, so a wide variety of compounds is
possible.

Carbon Exists in Different Allotropes
• As an element, carbon atoms can form different
bonding arrangements, or allotropes.
• The different allotropes have properties that differ due
to the different arrangements of the carbon bonds.
Other Carbon Allotropes Include Fullerenes and
Nanotubes
• Besides diamond and graphite, carbon allotropes
include buckminsterfullerene, and nanotubes.

Organic Compounds
• Organic compounds contain carbon, and most also
contain atoms of hydrogen.
• They can contain other elements, such as oxygen,
nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and the halogens.
• Chemists group organic compounds with similar
characteristics into classes.

hydrocarbons, contain only carbon and hydrogen.

Alkanes Are the Simplest Hydrocarbons
• Alkanes are hydrocarbons with carbon atoms that
are connected only by single bonds.
• Three alkanes are methane, ethane, and propane.
• The formulas of the alkanes fit the general formula
CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms.
• For example, if an alkane has 30 carbon atoms,
then its formula is C30H62.

Benzene Is an Important Ring Compound
• An important organic ring compound is the
hydrocarbon benzene, C6H6.
• Benzene is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon.
• It can be drawn as a ring with three double bonds.
• Experiments show that all the carbon-carbon bonds in
benzene are the same, so it is a molecule with
resonance structures.

• The word organic originally described only
compounds made by living things. Now chemists can
make organic compounds from inorganic substances.
Many Compounds Contain Functional Groups

is responsible for its chemical properties.
• This a group of atoms is known as a functional
group.

Functional Groups Determine Properties
• The presence of a functional group causes an organic
compound to have properties that differ greatly from
those of the corresponding hydrocarbon.
• The structural formulas of butane and 1-butanol both have 4
carbon atoms joined by single bonds in a line.
• Butane is a gas at room temperature, but 1-butanol is a
liquid and has a greater density and higher melting and
boiling points than butane.
• The only difference between butane and 1-butanol is the
presence of the functional group —OH on one of the
carbon atoms in 1-butanol.

Section 2 Names and Structures of

Naming Straight-Chain Hydrocarbons
• Inorganic carbon compounds are named by using a
system of prefixes and suffixes.
• Organic compounds have their own system of
prefixes and suffixes that denote classes.
• For example, the names of all alkanes end with
the suffix -ane.
• For alkanes that consist of five or more carbon atoms,
the prefix comes from a Latin word that indicates
the number of carbon atoms in the chain.

contains 7 carbon atoms, so it is heptane.

•LDPE is an example of branched polyethylene since its
carbon molecules are attached to long chains of
polyethylene instead of hydrogen.
• A linear structure of carbon to hydrogen occurs, which
is known as high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

Condensation and Elimination
• Polymers can also be formed by a condensation
reaction in which two molecules combine, usually
accompanied by the loss of a water molecule.
• The formation of water as a reaction product is the
reason for the name of this type of reaction.
• An elimination reaction is a reaction in which a
simple molecule is removed from adjacent carbon
atoms on the same organic molecule.
• An elimination reaction also produces water.

Condensation Reactions Produce Nylon
• Nylon is formed in a condensation reaction.
• The reaction takes place between an amine group on
hexanediamine and a carboxyl group on adipic acid.
• A water molecule is eliminated when an H atom from
the amine group and an —OH group from the
carboxyl group are removed.
• This reaction repeats, linking hundreds of reactants
to form the synthetic polymer called nylon 66.

4. Why is ethyne, also known as acetylene, used in
welding torches instead of ethane which also has two

Answer: Welding requires very high temperatures. The
triple bond of acetylene releases much more energy
than the single bond of ethane, creating a higher
temperature flame.

Read the passage below. Then answer the questions.
In the early part of the nineteenth century, chemists were unable
to synthesize most carbon- containing compounds, unless they
started with a material that had been produced by a living organism.
The predominant theory was that there was a force inherent in living
organisms that had to be used to make these compounds. In 1828 a
German chemist, Friedrich Wöhler, succeeded in making an organic
compound, urea, starting with inorganic chemicals. Although many
chemists did not immediately accept that there was no living force
involved in making organic molecules, the results prompted other
scientists to perform experiments that led to synthesis of a variety of
carbon compounds from inorganic sources and eventually new
chemical theories.

7. Why did Wöhler's synthesis of urea from inorganic
compounds mean that the theory about organic
materials had to be reevaluated?
F. It showed that other chemists were wrong.
G. It proved that urea is not an organic compound.
H. New data was not consistent with the existing
theory.
I. There is no special force existant that organisms
use to make compounds.

contributed special characteristics to organic
compounds immediately replaced in the scientific
community as soon as Wöhler announced his

Answer: A single experiment from one laboratory is not
always enough to convince everyone that the new
data is valid and that the accepted theory is now
disproven.
