2.  It is an element
 It is a non metal
 ATOMIC NUMBER (the total
number of protons present inside
the element ) – 6
 Mass Number – 12.01 amu

3.  In our human body 18% is covered with carbon and most of the part is backbone ,
in the lungs (alveoli)
 It is found as a gas like CO2 in the atmosphere
 It is found as an organic matter in the soil

4.  A substance that results from a combination of two or more different chemical
elements . In such a way that the element are held together by chemical bond and
difficult to break

5.  Atomic Structure : Arrangement of –vely
charged electrons around the nucleus
 Carbon
 Protons = 6
 Neutrons = 6
 Electrons = 6
Few examples : Find out the atomic Structure
Hydrogen , Lithium , beryllium , Boron , sodium ,
calcium , Clorine, Argon ,Titanium , iron

6. Maxiumum number of electrons per shell :

7. The outer most shell is called valence shell
The outer most electrons is called valence electrons
For Carbon its : 4

8.  They can be bonded in different forms.
 They can form allotropes from carbons eg: idli
Diamond
Graphite
C60
 Carbons are poor conductors of electricity
 They have low melting and boiling point
 Have weak intermolecular forces

9. It refers to the formation of chemical bond
between 2 or more atoms , molecules , ions to
give rise to chemical compound
Types :
 Ionic Bond : Transfer of electrons from one
atom to another . The electrostatic
attractions between the oppositely charged
ions hold the compound together.
 Losing e- becomes +vely charged CATIONS
 Gaining e- becomes –vely charged ANIONS

10.  Covalent Bond :A covalent bond is formed when pairs of electrons are shared
between two atoms. It is primarily formed between two same nonmetallic atoms or
between nonmetallic atoms with similar electronegativity.

11.  In this case the carbon has 4 electrons in the outermost shell which it must gain
or lose the 4 electrons
If I gained four electrons forming C4- anion . But it would be difficult to proton
to hold on 10 electrons . That is four extra electrons
if I lost four electrons forming c4+ cation . But it would require a large amount
of energy to remove four electrons leaving behind a carbon cation with six protons
in its nucleus holding on to just two electrons

12. Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot structures or electron dot structures.
These are basically diagrams with the element’s symbol in the centre. The dots
around it represent the valence electrons of the element. Examples : chromium ,
cobalt , neon , Calcium , Hydrogen

14.  In hydrogen Each hydrogen atom has a single
electron in the valence shell. It requires one more to
acquire the nearest noble gas configuration (He).
Therefore, both the atoms share one electron each and
form a single bond

15.  Fro oxyfen Each oxygen atom has six electrons
in the valence shell (2, 6). It requires two electrons to
acquire the nearest noble gas configuration (Ne).
Therefore, both the atoms share two electrons each
and form a double bond.

16.  Fro nitrogen Each nitrogen atom has five
electrons in the valence shell (2, 5). It requires
three electrons to acquire the nearest noble gas
configuration (Ne).
Therefore, both atoms share three electrons each
and form a triple bond.

18.  The phenomenon of the existence of the same element in different physical forms with similar chemical
properties is known as allotropy.
 Types of allotropes:
--- Crystalline allotropes of carbon include diamond, graphite and, fullerene.
--- Amorphous allotropes of carbon include coal, coke, charcoal, lamp black and
gas carbon.

19. DIAMOND
 Diamond has a regular tetrahedral geometry.
 This is because each carbon is connected to four neighbouring
carbon atoms via single covalent bonds, resulting in a single
unit of a crystal.
 These crystal units lie in different planes and are connected to
each other, resulting in a rigid three-dimensional cubic pattern
of the diamond.
1. Has a high density of 3.5g/cc.
2. Has a very high refractive index of 2.5.
3. Is a good conductor of heat.
4. Is a poor conductor of electricity

20.  In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded covalently to
three other carbon atoms, leaving each carbon atom with
one free valency.
 This arrangement results in hexagonal rings in a single
plane and such rings are stacked over each other through
weak Van der Waals forces.
1. Has a density of 2.25 g/cc.
2. Has a soft and slippery feel.
3. Is a good conductor of electricity.

21.  C60, also known as Buckminsterfullerene, is the very
popular and stable form of the known fullerenes.
 It is the most common naturally occurring fullerene and
can be found in small quantities in soot.
 It consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged in 12 pentagons
and 20 hexagons, like in a soccer ball

23.  Saturated hydrocarbons: These hydrocarbons have all carbon-carbon single bonds. These are known as
alkanes. General formula = CnH2n+2 where n = 1, 2, 3, 4.…..

24. Unsaturated hydrocarbons: These hydrocarbons have at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond.
Hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon double bond are called alkenes. General formula = CnH2n
where n = 2, 3, 4…..
Hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon triple bond are called alkynes. General formula =
CnH2n−2 where n = 2, 3, 4…..

26.  Carbon chains may be in the form of straight chains, branched chains or rings
 In cyclic compounds, atoms are connected to form a ring.

27.  The compounds with the same molecular formula and different physical or chemical properties are known as
isomers and the phenomenon is known as isomerism.
The isomers that differ in the structural arrangement of atoms in their molecules are called structural isomers
and the phenomenon is known as structural isomerism.

28. Benzene is the simplest organic, aromatic hydrocarbon.
Physical properties: colourless liquid, pungent odour, flammable, volatile.
Structure:
Cyclic in nature with chemical formula, C6H6, i.e., each carbon atom in benzene is arranged in a six-membered
ring and is bonded to only one hydrogen atom.
It includes 3-double bonds which are separated by a single bond.
Hence, this arrangement is recognized to have conjugated double bonds and two stable resonance structures
exist for the ring.

30.  In the earlier days, the conventional names for organic compounds were
mainly derived from the source of occurrence & their properties. However,
organic chemists realized the need for a systematic naming for organic
compounds since a large number of organic compounds
 This leads to setting up a system of nomenclature by "International
Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC".

32. For the Root Word:
The Root Word of IUPAC
name indicates the number of
carbon atoms in the longest
possible continuous carbon
chain also known as parent
chain chosen by a set of
rules.
Example: root word -

33. There are 2 suffix:
1.Primary suffix: It is used to indicate the degree
of saturation or unsaturation in the main chain.
It is added immediately after the word root of
IUPAC name.
Example: 1 Suffix -

34. 2. Secondary Suffix :
it is used to indicate the main functional
group in the organic compound and is
added immediately after the 1o suffix in
the IUPAC name
Example : 2 Suffix -

35. Prefix : The prefix is used to indicate the side
chains, substituents and low priority functional
groups (which are considered as substituents).
The prefix may precede the word root or the
infix of IUPAC name. Make sure it has less
priority number while naming
Example: prefix-

36. Infix : The infixes, like cyclo, spiro, bicyclo, are added between the prefix(es) and root word in
the IUPAC name to indicate the nature of parent chain.
 * The "Cyclo" infix is used to indicate the cyclic nature of the parent chain.
 * The "Spiro" infix is used to indicate the spiro compound.
 * The "Bicyclo" infix is used to indicate the bicyclic nature of the parent chain.
 The infixes are some times called as primary prefixes
Example: Infix –

37. 1) The first step in giving IUPAC name to an organic compound is to select the parent
chain and assign a word root.
2) Next, the appropriate primary suffix(es) must be added to the root word to indicate
the saturation or unsaturation.
3) If the molecule contains functional group or groups, a secondary suffix must be added
to indicate the main functional group. This is optional and not necessary if the molecule
contains no functional group.
4) add prefix(es) to the IUPAC name, if there are side chains or substituents on the
parent chain.
5) Finally Prefix the root word with the infix "cyclo" if the parent chain is cyclic; or with
the infix "spiro" if it is a spiro compound; or with the infix "bicyclo" if the compound is
bicyclic.

40. Combustion means burning of carbon or carbon-containing compounds in the presence of air or
oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, heat and light.
CH3CH2OH + O2 -----> CO2 + H2O
Saturated hydrocarbons give clean flame while unsaturated hydrocarbons give smoky flame. In
limited oxygen, even saturated hydrocarbons give smoky flame.

41. Oxidation is the reaction caused by contact between substances and oxygen molecules.
In the below example we are using alkaline potassium permanganate or acidified potassium
dichromate are oxidizing alcohol to acids , that is adding oxygen to the starting materials .
Hence its known as oxidizing agent

42.  Combustion is the complete oxidation of organic compound into carbon dioxide
and water molecules in presence of oxygen gas whereas
 oxidation is the addition of oxygen in a compound or addition with an element.

43.  The reactions in which two molecules react to form a single product having all the atoms of the combining
molecules are called addition reactions.
 The hydrogenation reaction is an example of the addition reaction.
 In this reaction, hydrogen is added to a double bond or a triple bond in the presence of a catalyst like nickel,
palladium or platinum.

44. The reaction in which an atom or group of atoms in a molecule is replaced or substituted by different atoms or
group of atoms is called substitution reaction.
In the below example Chlorine is added because it shows faster reaction and can be replaced with other
hydrogens
CH4+Cl2+Sunlight → CH3Cl+HCl

1. Esterification Reaction:
 Esters are more commonly formed by reaction of acid and an alcohol
 When a carboxylic acid is refluxed with alcohol in the presence of a small quantity of
conc.H2SO4, a sweet-smelling ester is formed. This reaction of ester formation is called
esterification.
 When ethanol reacts with ethanoic acid in presence of conc.H2SO4, ethyl ethanoate and
water are formed.
