Carbon atoms have 4 valenceelectrons, and they are all single
• Carbon atoms will always make 4 bonds. There are lots of ways to do this:
4 single bonds OR
2 singles and 1 double OR
2 doubles OR
1 single and 1 triple

II. So how does Carbon work?A. There are many different forms:
•Graphite

B. Carbon in Compounds•A hydrocarbon is a compound containing the elements carbon and hydrogen•Carbon forms the skeleton of each molecule•The hydrogens collect on the outside

C. Naming Hydrocarbons
• If all the carbons are single bonded, the skeleton is holding as many hydrogens as it can, so it is saturated we call this type of hydrocarbon an alkane
• The prefix is based on the number of carbon atoms
• If it is saturated, the ending is “-ane”

What happens if we add a double or triple bond? We call them unsaturated
• Alkenes - hydrocarbons containing a double bond• Alkynes - hydrocarbons containing a triple bond

E. Properties of hydrocarbons
• Because they are nonpolar they don’t dissolve in water.
• The forces that hold them together are weak so most are gases or volatile liquids at room temperature.
• Many are flammable - coooool!

G. Carbon chains
• How many bonds does carbon like to make? • 4 • Carbon is good at making long chains also.
This results in many properties:– Elastic - able to stretch and return to original
shape– No definite melting point– Able to take any shape

G. Carbon Chains
• Examples of polymers:– Plastic and rubber
• Biological molecules like proteins , fats and starches
