Title: Covalent bonding in carbon compounds
Description: Covalent Bonding in Carbon Compounds introduces core concepts in organic chemistry, emphasizing carbon’s unique ability to form stable covalent bonds. Carbon, with four electrons in its outer shell, can form four covalent bonds with other atoms, allowing it to create an extensive variety of compounds.

Covalent bonding in carbon compounds
ovalent bonding in carbon compounds is a fundamental concept in
C
organic chemistry
...
This allows it to form four covalent
bonds with other atoms, making it possible for carbon to form a vast
number of compounds
...
Catenation is the ability of carbon atoms to bond to
each other and form long chains
...
or example, consider the compound hexane (C6H14)
...
nother important type of covalent bonding in carbon is called
A
structural isomerism
...
or example, consider the compounds pentane (C5H12) and
F
isopentane (C5H12)
...
In pentane, the carbon atoms
are bonded in a straight chain, while in isopentane, one of the carbon
atoms is bonded to another carbon atom at an angle, creating a
branched structure
...
Examples of functional
groups include alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acids
...
The functional group in ethanol is the -OH group, which is
bonded to a carbon skeleton consisting of two carbon atoms bonded
together in a chain
...
In summary, covalent bonding in carbon compounds involves the
formation of strong and stable bonds between carbon atoms, allowing
for the formation of long chains and branched structures through
catenation and structural isomerism
...
