Carbon CompoundsWhy carbon builds more compounds than every other element…10th GradeCarbon forms four covalent bonds andreadily bonds to itself, so it buildschains, branches and rings of almostunlimited length.Carbon always makes exactly four bonds.It bonds to itself in chains and rings — this is catenation.Alkanes have only single bonds: methane, ethane, propane.Alkenes contain a double bond, which makes them more reactive.A functional group determines a molecule's chemistry more thanits chain length.LOOK FOR ITMethane CH₄, ethane C₂H₆, propane C₃H₈ — each adds one carbon and twohydrogens.More carbon compounds are known than compounds of all other elementsput together.Carbon Compoundswww.littleactivity.com
