2.1 TYPES OF CARBON COMPOUNDS

Definition of Carbon Compounds that contain carbon as their constituent element

Compounds originating from Compounds originating from
living things that contain the non-living materials such as
oxides of carbon, carbonate
carbon element bonded
covalently with other compounds and cyanide
compounds
elements such as hydrogen,
nitrogen, sulphur, and
phosphorus

Organic compounds are divided into hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbon Organic compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon

Non hydrocarbon Organic compounds containing hydrogen, carbon and other
elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus or halogens.

are classified into and

Saturated Containing only single bonds between carbon atoms
Hydrocarbon

Unsaturated Containing at least pne double bond or triple bond between
hydrocarbon carbon atoms





such as mixture of aluminium oxide, Al2O3
dan silicon(IV) oxide, SiO2

Examples of cracking reaction on long-chain hydrocarbons into smaller
hydrocarbon molecules and hydrogen gas
