1. Carbon compound burns in presence of oxygen to give CO2. (Combution reaction).

2. Carbon compound oxidises (after oxidizing alcohols gets converted in carboxylic acids ).

3. Unsaturated carbon compounds ( alkenes alkynes) undergoes addition reaction to become saturated carbons.

4. They undergoes substitution reaction (even paraffines who have low affinity or almost no affinity towards reaction undergoes substitution reaction).
