4. Carbon and its Compounds
Making Carbon Skeletons:
Making Carbon Skeletons:
Skeletons of Carbon Atoms:
(i) Straight Carbon chain: When carbon atoms are linked together in staight chain.
E.g:
C-C-C-C
(ii) Branches Carbon chain: When carbon atoms are linked together in staight chain.
E.g:

(iii) Ring Carbon chain: When carbon atoms are linked together in ringh shape.
E.g:

Structural Isomers:
Compounds with identical molecular formula but different structures are called structural isomers.
Example 1: Structural Isomers of Butane; Whoose molecular formula is C4H10.

Structure Isomer (I) of Butane Structure Isomer (II) of Butane
Example 2: Structural Isomers of Butene (double bond); Whoose molecular formula is C4H8.

Structure Isomer (I) of Butene Structure Isomer (II) of Butene
Ring Skeletons in Hydrocarbons:

Structure of cyclohexane molecule (C6H12)

Structure of Benzene Molecules (C6H6)
