Types of Carbon Compound
, What is Carbon Compound?
Carbon compounds are compounds that contain carbon, C as their constituent elements.
Types of carbon compound :
Organic compounds Inorganic compounds
● Contains carbon element bonded ● Originate from non-living materials
covalently with other elements such such as oxide of carbon and
as hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur. carbonate compounds.
● Come from living organisms. ● Example, carbon disulphide, CS2
● Example : carbohydrate, glucose.
, Organic compounds are further
divided into :
Hydrocarbon Non-hydrocarbon
● Organic compounds containing only ● Organic compounds containing
hydrogen & carbon. carbon & hydrogen & other elements
; oxygen, nitrogen, halogen.
Saturated hydrocarbon Unsaturated hydrocarbon
● Hydrocarbons containing only single ● Hydrocarbon containing at least one
bonds between carbon atoms. double bond or triple bond between
carbon atoms.
