compounds that contain carbon – except CO‚ CO2‚ carbonates‚ and carbides • Even though organic compounds only contain a few elements‚ the unique ways carbon atoms can attach together to form molecules leads to millions of different organic compounds 4 1.1 Introduction to Hydrocarbon and Functional Groups What’s so Special About Carbon? Carbon atoms can do some unique things that other atoms cannot Carbon can bond to as many as four other atoms Bonds to carbon are very strong and

differentiation are present in many plant tissues. Horticulturalists are interested in understanding how meristematic cells can be induced to reproduce an entire plant.Aromatic hydrocarbon or arenes are the compounds of carbon and hydrogen which contain at least one hexagonal ring of carbon called as benzene in their molecule. Aromatic hydrocarbon can contain one or more than one benzene ring. Those compounds which contain more than one benzene ring are known as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon like naphthalene

Element: Simplest form of matter to have unique chemical properties. Atom: The smallest particles with unique chemical identities. Nucleus: Center of an atom (composed of protons and neutrons). Proton: Have a single positive charge (+1). Neutron: Have no charge. Electron: Tiny particles with a single negative charge and very low mass (-1)/determines chemical bonding properties of an atom. Atomic Number: Number of protons in the nucleus. Atomic Mass: Approximate number of protons and neutrons

“Technology‚ in the form of weapons and transport‚ provides the direct means by which certain peoples have expanded their realms and conquered other peoples.” Jared Diamond uses a variety of resources to answer Yali’s question. He uses radio carbon evidence to show when and where certain plants or animals were

"In mineralogy‚ diamond (from the ancient Greek αδάμας – adámas "unbreakable") is an allotrope of carbon‚ where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice. Diamond is renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities‚ most of which originate from the strong covalent bonding between its atoms. In particular‚ diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any bulk material. ELECTRICAL CONDUCTANCE: - . Diamond

sawhorse representation examines a carbon-carbon bond from a certain angle‚ so that one is able to visualize the molecule as a whole. The bonds in the plane of the main chain are demonstrated by solid lines‚ bonds away from the viewer are represented by hatched lines‚ and bonds coming straight towards the viewer are drawn as solid wedges. The Newman projection views the carbon-carbon bond from front to back; the front carbon being represented by a dot and the back carbon represented by a circle. The three

Unsaturation in this context means the presence of a double bond between two carbon atoms. 6. Attach your IR spectrum to your report.

Conformational stereoisomer of butane Butane‚ C4H10 is an alkane with four carbon atoms which are bonded to each other by single bonds. Butane can form two isomers which are n-butane and isobutane. Figure1.1(a) and 1.1(b) shows the structures of n-butane and isobutane. Alkanes usually show conformational isomerism due the presence of C-C single bonds. It is important to understand that conformational isomer can only occur in compound with single bond but not double or triple bond. This is because
