What to Focus On
- Carbon compounds have low melting/boiling points and poor electrical conductivity
- Carbon forms covalent bonds by sharing electrons
- Covalent bonds can be single, double, or triple bonds
- Catenation allows carbon to form long chains and complex structures
- Tetravalency enables carbon to form four bonds
- Saturated compounds have only single bonds
- Homologous series have same functional group but different chain lengths
- Members differ by CH₂ unit (molecular mass difference of 14u)
- Chemical properties remain similar, physical properties show gradation
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Carbon forms ionic bonds because it has 4 valence electrons and needs to complete its octet
All carbon compounds burn with a sooty flame
Functional groups can be placed anywhere on a carbon chain without affecting the compound's name
Memory Tips
Carbon's tetravalency (4 valence electrons)
Covalent bond formation
Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes nomenclature
Homologous series properties
