what are carbon compounds ???!
Answers
Carbon compounds are compounds whose molecules contain a carbon atom. They are chemical substances where a carbon atom has bonded to an atom of another element. These compounds are generally organic in nature. However many students are under the false impression can if a molecule contains carbon it implies that it is organic in nature. This is incorrect. There are various inorganic carbon compounds as well like for example CO2 (carbon dioxide).
Now carbon compounds can be broadly divided into two categories
Saturated Carbon Compounds
Carbon compounds that are satisfied by a single bond between them are saturated compounds. An example of this is Ethane which is C2H6. Here the duplet or octet of both the atoms is fully complete by only a single bond.
Unsaturated Carbon Compound
Atoms that are satisfied only by double or triple bonds are unsaturated carbon compounds. Ethene C2H4 is an unsaturated carbon compound, it has a double bond.
Answer:
Compounds of carbon are defined as chemical substances containing carbon. More compounds of carbon exist than any other chemical element except for hydrogen. Organic carbon compounds are far more numerous than inorganic carbon compounds. In general bonds of carbon with other elements are covalent bonds.
