The Carbon Compounds

(S9MT-IIg-17, 2nd Quarter, 4th Week)

Introduction

You see how people and goods are transported from one place to another. In order
to do so, people use different types of vehicles like cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles and
jeeps. The fuel used to run these vehicles are gasoline, diesel, or natural gas, which are all
mixtures of organic compounds called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are named using the
IUPAC system, although most often, common names are used.
The various vehicles in the picture can be distinguished by their special features and
functions. In a similar way, one hydrocarbon is similar to another until it is distinguished by
a functional group. In this worksheet, you will learn about the classes of functional groups,
their structures, nomenclature, sources and uses.

Activity
Organic Compounds: Are they Useful?
1

Many organic compounds are commonly used at home or in the community. These
compounds have their specific uses. Some of these compounds are used to fuel
vehicles, light lamps, cook food, disinfect wounds, flavor beverages, and lubricate
machines. However, you are not really familiar with the kinds of these organic compounds
and their specific purposes. In this activity, you will be able to learn about the specific kinds
of common organic compounds that you usually see or use. In addition, the activity will
make you aware of the importance of these compounds in your everyday life.

This activity will acquaint you with the useful characteristics of carbon atoms and the
relationship of the structures and properties of the special group of another type of organic
compounds, the hydrocarbons.
