Catenation

Catenation
Catenation is the ability of carbon to form long
chains. In fact, carbon atoms are unique
because of catenation—they are unique among
all of the other atoms found in nature. Now,
carbon chains are formed because they form
bonds, or tetravalent bonds, with other carbon
atoms.

Examples:
Carbon is the most common element that
exhibits catenation. It can form long hydrocarbon
chains and rings like benzene.

Carbon
 Catenation occurs most readily with carbon,
which forms covalent bonds with other carbon
atoms to form longer chains and structures.
 This is the reason for the presence of the vast
number of organic compounds in nature.
 Carbon is most well known for its properties of
catenation, with organic chemistry essentially
being the study of catenated carbon structures
(and known as catenae).
5
Catenation property .
When two or more atoms of an element combine
with each other through the covalently single
bond, double bond or triple bond to form a long
chain structure, then that characteristic of the
elements is called catenation property.
6
Cont….
7
Cont…
When a large number of carbon atoms
are covalently bonded with each other through
the single bond, double bond or triple bond,
resulting in the formation of a large number of
cyclic or open chain compounds, so in the case of
carbon this properties is
called catenation property of carbon.
8
Carbon Shows Highest Degree Of
Catenation
The ionization potential of carbon is quite high
and its electron affinity is of moderate quality.
The size of carbon atom is small.
Now, it has been experimentally found that the
carbon atom shows highest degree
of catenation. Observations have shown that
there are three main reasons for showing
of catenation property by carbon atom.
(I)The C — C bond energy is higher than their
expected value due to small size of carbon
atom.
9
Cont…
(II)Carbon shows tetravalency and forms
large number of covalent bonds.
(III)Carbon occupied less diffused atomic
orbital due to small atomic size and
hence a strong overlapping occurs
among the orbitals.
(II)Carbon shows tetravalency and forms
large number of covalent bonds.
