All organic compounds consist of carbon atom. Properties of carbon atom: -has 4 valence electrons. -can form 4 covalent bonds.
C C C C C C
Single bond
Double bond
Triple bond
Hydrocarbons
saturated

Contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond (-C=C-) or triple bond (-C C-). Examples: alkenes, alkynes.
cycloalkanes
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the lesson the students should be able to : Define structural formula. Draw structural formula in the form of expanded, condensed and skeletal structures based on the molecular formula. Explain primary (1), secondary (2), tertiary (3) and quaternary (4) carbon.
Structural formula shows how the atoms in a molecule are bonded to each other. 3 types of structural formula:
condensed structure expanded structure skeletal structure
2- Dimensional formula
Condensed Structure
Does not show single bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms, but double and triple bonds are shown. All atoms that are attached to a carbon are written immediately after that carbon.
C4H9Cl CH3CHClCH2CH3 (Condensed structure) CH3CH=CHCH3 (Condensed structure)
C4H8
Examples:
ii) Cyclohexane, C6H12 H2 C H2C CH2 iii) Aldehyde, CH3CHO H2C CH2 C O H2
CH3CH
Expanded Structure
Expanded structures indicate how atoms are attached to each other but are not representations of the actual shapes of the molecules.

Skeletal Structure
Shows only the carbon skeleton. Hydrogen atoms are not written. Other atoms such as O, Cl, N etc. are shown. i) CH3CH(Cl)CH2CH3 =

Indication ::bonds that lie in the plane :bonds that lie behind the plane :bonds that project out of the plane
Classification of C atoms:
A carbon atom can be classified as primary carbon (1o) bonded to 1 C secondary carbon (2o) bonded to 2 C tertiary carbon (3o) bonded to 3 C quarternary carbon (4o) bonded to 4C
Example:
