What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter on Carbon Compounds, we will be learning about the different types of carbon compounds found in nature. We will explore the importance of the Carbon Cycle and how it affects our environment.
Next, we will dive into hydrocarbons, which are compounds derived from natural sources. We will learn about their properties and how they are named. We will also study alcohols, including their preparation process and physical and chemical properties.
Lastly, we will discuss fats, their sources, and their differences between saturated and unsaturated fats. By the end of this chapter, we will have a solid understanding of carbon compounds and their significance in our daily lives.
