Carbon atoms covalent bonding ability

The hundreds of thousands of organic molecules have various chemical and physical properties and three-dimensional structures. However, certain similarities exist. Organic compounds, of course, are covalently bonded, carbon based molecules. The ability of carbon atoms to bond with one another allows the formation of long chains, double and triple bonds, and even rings. 

Each dash represents a covalent bond. Carbon, more than any other element, has the ability to form chains of covalently bonded atoms. This bonding ability is the main reason for the large number of organic compounds. Three examples are shown here. It s... 

One of the most important features of the carbon atom is its ability to bond to other carbon atoms to form chains and rings of enormous variety. The covalent bonding of two or more atoms of the same element to one another is referred to as catenation. 

The compounds of carbon are studied separately in organic chemistry. There are well over 2 million such compounds, because of the ability of carbon to form covalently bonded chains of carbon atoms. However, the study of organic chemistry does not include the chemistry of oxides of carbon or metal carbonates, e.g. calcium carbonate. 

The importance of carbon in organic chemistry results from its ability to form carbon-carbon bonds, permitting complex molecules, with the most varied properties, to exist. The importance of silicon in the inorganic world results from a different property of the element —a few coiiipounds are known in which silicon atoms are connected to one another by covalent bonds, but these compounds are relatively unimportant. The characteristic feature of the silicate minerals is the existence of chains and more complex structures (layers, three-dimen sional frameworks) in which the silicon atoms are not bonded directly to one another but are connected by oxygen atoms. 1 he nature of these structures is described briefly in later sections of this chapter. 

The element carbon exists mainly in two allotropic forms, diamond and graphite, and has a very large branch of chemistry (organic chemistry) concerned with the compounds that it forms because of its ability to form long chains by bonding with atoms of itself The ability of the atoms of an element to covalently bond with themselves is called catenation. 

Organic Chemistry is the study of carbon compounds. Carbon can form a wide array of compounds, because of its size and ability to form covalent bonds with other carbon atoms. In addition, carbon can form bonds with many other elements. This property of carbon increases the facility of forming multitudes of different compounds. The particular electronegativity of carbon also plays a key role in its versatility. In this chapter, we will review some of the fundamental aspects of carbon atom and the main types of hybridizations involving carbon compounds. 

The effect of chemical treatment on surface of the fibre in which the coupling agent was found to be concentrated on the fibre provided the ability for the covalent bonding formation. In the present study, the above explanation is aplicable to the increase in impact strenth. The effect of mechanical treatment for palmyra fibre surface not to be roughness than coir fibre. The surface of the palmyra fibre is more smooth than the coir fibre surface before mechanical treatmennt, for this case the TS value for palmyra composite materials increase only around 5 - 10 % but for coir composite materials increase around 10 - 15 % and effect of chemical treatment for the coir fibre composite materials better than the palmyra composite materials that is due to palmyra fibre content around 60% carbon atom. Interaction of carbon atom and sodium peroxide is weak. 

One of the reasons for the large number of organic compounds is the unique ability of carbon atoms to form stable covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and with atoms of other elements. The resulting covalently bonded molecules may contain as few as one or more than a million carbon atoms. 

Carbon atoms also have the ability to bond covalently to other carbon atoms to form chains and networks. This means that two carbon atoms can join by sharing two electrons to form a single covalent bond ...
