Carbon compounds. Carbon compounds are defined as chemical substances containing carbon. [ 1][ 2] 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.
Carbon-based compounds form the basis of all known life on Earth, and the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle provides a small portion of the energy produced by the Sun, and most of the energy in larger stars (e.g. Sirius). Although it forms an extraordinary variety of compounds, most forms of carbon are comparatively unreactive under normal conditions.
List of straight-chain alkanes. The following is a list of straight-chain alkanes, the total number of isomers of each (including branched chains), and their common names, sorted by number of carbon atoms. [ 1][ 2] Number of C atoms. Number of isomers [ 3][ 4]
Carbon dioxide – CO 2; Carbon disulfide – CS 2; Carbon monoxide – CO; Carbon tetrabromide – CBr 4; Carbon tetrachloride – CCl 4; Carbon tetrafluoride – CF 4; Carbon tetraiodide – CI 4; Carbonic acid – H 2 CO 3; Carbonyl chloride – COCl 2; Carbonyl fluoride – COF 2; Carbonyl sulfide – COS; Carboplatin – C 6 H 12 N 2 O 4 Pt
Category. v. t. e. Organic chemistry is a subdiscipline within chemistry involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. [ 1] Study of structure determines their structural formula.
dibromomethylene. 4371-77-1. CBr 2 ClF. chloro dibromo fluoro methane. 353-55-9. CBr 2 O. carbonyl bromide. 593-95-3. CBr 3.
The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.
A functional group is a group of atoms in a molecule with distinctive chemical properties, regardless of the other atoms in the molecule. The atoms in a functional group are linked to each other and to the rest of the molecule by covalent bonds. For repeating units of polymers, functional groups attach to their nonpolar core of carbon atoms and ...
