    Organic chemistry deals with carbon compounds. Carbon can form four strong covalent bonds and link together in chains and rings, resulting in over 50 million known organic compounds. Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen and include three main types: alkanes containing single bonds, alkenes containing carbon-carbon double bonds, and alkynes containing carbon-carbon triple bonds. Organic structures can be represented through condensed, skeletal, and line-bond drawings to show bonding patterns.

    What is Organic Chemistry?

    HYDROCARBONS
     The branch of chemistry that deals with the  Compounds that contain only carbon and 2. Branched-chain Alkane – whose carbon chains
    study of compounds of Carbon hydrogen branch

    What’s Special With Carbon? Types of Hydrocarbons


     Has four valence electrons and can form 1. Alkane - A compound of carbon and hydrogen
    four strong covalent bonds that contains only single bonds
     Carbon atoms can bond to one another
    forming long chains and rings (catenation)
     There are more than 50 million known
    organic compounds

    How to Draw Structures of Organic 2. Alkene - hydrocarbon that contains a carbon– Constitutional Isomer - Compounds whose atoms
    Compounds carbon double bond, -C = C- are connected differently
    1. Condensed Structure – shorthand way of
    writing structures in which carbon–hydrogen and
    carbon–carbon bonds are understood rather than
    shown explicitly. Propane, for example, has the
    condensed structure CH3CH2CH3

    2. Kekule Structure - An alternative name for a


    linebond structure, which represents a molecule by
    showing covalent bonds as lines between atoms
    3. Alkyne - A hydrocarbon that contains a carbon–
    carbon triple bond, RC
    CR

    3. Skeletal Structure - A shorthand way of writing


    structures in which carbon atoms are assumed to be Types of Alkanes
    at each intersection of two lines (bonds) and at the 1. Straight-chain Alkanes - whose carbons are all
    end of each line connected in a row
