Names and Formulas of Alkanes: A large number of compounds is possible because the covalent bond between the carbon atoms (C-C) is very strong, this allows carbon atoms to form long, stable chains. Alkanes are a class of hydrocarbons in which all atoms are connected by single bonds. They are,(i) commonly used as fuels(ii) contain …

Some organic chemistry lessons-lesson 1

Organic Compounds: Carbon has a special role because many carbon atoms can bond together to create many types of molecular compounds. (Bonding in ALMOST all of them is covalent) Organic compounds: Always contain carbon and hydrogen, and sometimes oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorous, or a halogen (SON PH). Simplest one is CH4. Characteristics: Ex of an …
