6. 6
Carbon atom sharing its valence
electrons with surrounding other
carbon atoms and forming a
covalent bond
Covalent bond
Covalent bond: The bond formed by
sharing of electrons between the
atoms is called covalent bond
7. Covalent bond:
Ex: Bonding in methane (CH4)
Valence electron in Hydrogen atom is – 1
Valence electrons in Carbon atom is - 4
Bond formed between one carbon atom with 4
hydrogen atoms

9. Catenation:
carbon form covalent bond with surrounding
other carbon atoms, and forms chain structures,
this unique property of carbon is called
catenation
Types of chain structures:
Straight chain
Branched chain
and
Closed / Ring chain

10. Isomerism
The carbon compounds having identical
molecular formula and different
structures are called isomers and the
phenomenon is called isomerism
10
13. Hydrocarbons
• The Compounds which are formed
only by hydrogen and carbon are
called hydrocarbons
• The simplest hydrocarbon is
Methane, its mol. formula CH4
13
21. Saturated hydrocarbons
The Valencies of all the carbon
atoms in a compound is fulfilled
by only single bonds (C – C) are
called Saturated hydrocarbons.
Ex: alkanes and cyclic alkanes
21
23. Unsaturated hydrocarbons
The Valencies of carbon atoms in a
compound is fulfilled by double
(C = C) or triple (C ≡ C) bond along
with single bonds are called
unsaturated hydrocarbons.
Ex: alkenes, alkynes and benzene
23
24. Functional Groups
24
Carbon is a very friendly element,
it can easily make friendship with
hydrogen atom. Sometimes it can
also make friendship with other
elements like Cl, Br, and other
molecules like OH, CHO, C=O,
COOH and gets specific
properties,
In hydrocarbon chain hydrogen
atom or atoms replaced by other
atom or molecules and they are
responsible for special properties
of hydrocarbon compounds.
These atoms groups are called
functional groups
29. Homologous series
A Homologous series is a group
of carbon compounds having
similar structures, similar
chemical properties and
whose successive members differ
by a – CH2 group.

31. Chemical properties of Carbon
compounds
Combustion:
It is a type of chemical reaction
(oxidation),
carbon on heating burns to produce heat
and light as energy
* Heat and light are not always the products of
combustion, some times combustion produces
some new products.
31
32. Types of combustion
If the air is available
Sufficient amount, fuel
burns completely,
it is called complete
combustion.
If the availability of the
air is not sufficient
amount, fuel burns
partially, it is called
incomplete combustion.
32
33. Types of combustion
Saturated hydrocarbons will
generally give a clean
flame,
while unsaturated carbon
compounds will give a
yellow flame with lots of
black smoke.
33
34. Oxidation:
Carbon compounds like alcohols are
oxidised to produce carboxylic acids on
heating, with oxidising agents like alkaline
Potassium permanganate – KMnO4 or acidic
potassium dichromate - K2Cr2O7.
34
Ethanol Ethanoic acid
35. Addition reaction
Unsaturated hydrocarbons undergo
addition reaction with hydrogen, in
presence of nickel or palladium as catalyst
to form saturated hydrocarbons.
Eg:- Ni or Pd catalyst
C2H4 + H2 C2H6
35
36. Hydrogenation
The addition of
hydrogen to unsaturated
hydrocarbons to form
saturated hydrocarbons
is called hydrogenation.
Uses: Hydrogenation is
used to convert
unsaturated oils and fats
to saturated oils and fats.
36
38. Substitution reactions
Saturated hydrocarbons undergo
substitution reaction with
halogens to form substitution
products.
Eg :- Methane undergoes substitution reaction with
chlorine in the presence of sunlight to form
substitution products.
CH4 + Cl2 CH3Cl + HCl
(in the presence of sunlight)
38
39. Some important carbon compounds
Ethanol: alcohol/ ethyl alcohol, C2H5OH/ CH3CH2OH
• Ethanol is a colorless liquid with a pleasant smell
• It is completely soluble in water
Ethanol reacts with sodium to form sodium ethoxide
and hydrogen
2Na + 2CH3CH2OH 2CH3CH2O Na + H2
(Sodium ethoxide)
Uses :-
i) Ethanol is used for making alcoholic drinks.
ii) It is used as a solvent.
iii) It is used for making medicines like tincture iodine, cough
syrups, tonics , etc.
39
40. Ethanoic acid: Acetic acid (CH3COOH)
Properties :-
• Ethanoic acid is a colourless liquid with a
pungent smell and sour taste.
• It is soluble in water.
• A solution of 5% to 8% ethanoic acid in water is
called Vinegar.
40
41. Esterification
Ethanoic acid reacts with ethanol to
form the ester ethyl ethanoate
in presence of conc. H2SO4.
conc.H2SO4
CH3COOH + C2H5OH CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
The reaction between carboxylic acid and alcohol
to form an ester is called esterification
41
42. Saponification
When an ester reacts with
sodium hydroxide solution,
the sodium salt of the
carboxylic acid and the
parent alcohol are formed.
This reaction is called
saponification.
42
43. Soaps
43
Soaps are the sodium or
potassium salts of long chain
fatty acids
Ex: sodium stearate,
sodium oleate,
sodium palmitate
44. Structure of a soap molecule
44
A soap molecule has two parts.
A long hydrocarbon part, which is
hydrophobic in nature and soluble in oil,
grease.
A short ionic part which is hydrophilic in
nature (water attracting) and insoluble in
oil and grease.
COO - Na +
45. Cleansing action of soap
45
When soap is dissolved in water it forms
spherical structures called micelles.
• In each micelle the soap molecules are
arranged radially.
• such that the HC part is towards the
center and the ionic part is towards the
outside.
• The HC part dissolves the dirt, oil and
grease and forms an emulsion at the
center of the micelles
• which can be washed away by water.
48. Differences
48
Soaps Detergents
• Soaps are sodium salts
of fatty acids.
• Detergents are sodium
salts of sulphonic acids.
•Soaps clean well in soft
water but do not clean
well in hard water.
• Detergents clean well with
both hard and soft water.
• Soaps do not clean as
well as detergents.
• Detergents clean better
than soaps.
• Soaps are biodegradable
and do not cause
pollution.
• Some detergents are
non biodegradable
and cause pollution.
