Organic Compounds
In science, organic compounds contain
carbon (C), and usually
hydrogen
(
H)Slide3
Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, which allows for more chemical bonding possibilities than any other element.Slide4

do not contain carbon with 2 exceptions:Carbon Monoxide and

A hydrocarbon is an organic compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen.
Hydrocarbons are based on a carbon chain, with hydrogen atoms added on the sides.
See pages 246 - 247Slide8
The simplest hydrocarbons are ones that you might recognize and have even used!
Methane (CH4)--- main component of natural gas
Ethane (C2H6)---
also found in natural gas
Propane (C
3H8) ---
used as a fuel for BBQs
Butane (C

fluid used in industrial torches

Alcohols are organic compounds with C, H, and O.
Alcohols are very good solvents (they dissolve other substances).
Alcohols are generally very flammable.
