Chapter: Properties of Carbon Compounds
arbon is a unique element in the way it can form stable covalent
C
bonds with other carbon atoms, as well as with atoms of other
elements, leading to the formation of a vast number of compounds
...
1
...
They can be further classified into
aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons
...
● Aldehydes and Ketones: These are compounds that containa
carbonyl (>C=O) group
...
● Carboxylic Acids and Esters: These are compounds that
contain a carboxyl (-COOH) group
...
2
...
● M
elting and Boiling Points: The melting and boiling points of
carbon compounds depend on the strength of the
intermolecular forces between the molecules
...
● Solubility: The solubility of carbon compounds ina particular
solvent depends on the polarity of both the compound and the
solvent
...
3
...
● Hydrogenation: Saturated hydrocarbons can react with
hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to produce unsaturated
hydrocarbons
...
● Substitution and Addition Reactions: Carbon compoundscan
undergo substitution reactions, where one atom or group of
atoms is replaced by another, or addition reactions, where
atoms or groups of atoms are added to the molecule
...
Propane is a gas at
room temperature and can be liquefied under pressure
...
When
ropane reacts with oxygen in the air, it undergoes combustion to
p
produce carbon dioxide and water:
C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
ropane can also undergo halogenation, for example, with chlorine, to
P
produce a variety of halogenated propanes, such as chloropropane
(C3H7Cl) and dichloropropane (C3H6Cl2)
...
By understanding these properties, we can better
appreciate the role that carbon compounds play in our daily lives and
the world around us
