Target
In the previous module you have learned how ions are formed. Like non-
metals make chemical bonds by sharing electrons from their outer shells to attain
stable electronic configurations. The same process happens when carbon
compound or organic compound is being formed.
In this module, you will learn about the structure of carbon that forms many
organic compounds.
To help you understand the module, you will be doing the following
activities:
After going through this module, you are expected to attain the following
objectives:
Learning Competency
• Explain how the structure of the carbon atom affects the type of bonds it
forms (S9MT-IIG-17).

Lesson Uses and Properties of
1 Common Compounds
Good day everyone! Do you still remember the element carbon? Be ready to learn
more about it together with other elements to form useful compounds as you go over
this module.
Carbon is one of the most abundant elements and is widely distributed. It can
be found in its elementary form as graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon. These
three forms are all made of the same kind of atom-carbon, but they differ in crystal
structures. Substances made up of the same atoms but different in crystal structures
are called allotropes.
What makes carbon so unique that it makes the existence of many carbon
compounds possible? Carbon atom can form strong covalent bonds with other
carbon atoms and at the same time holds strongly atoms of other non-metals.
Another reason for great number of organic compounds is the existence of two
or more organic compounds, each having the same chemical formula known as
isomerism. Isomers are compounds with identical molecular formulas but having
different structures

Consider all living matter – you, your pets, the plants and trees, the fishes and
marine animals, the small insects, and big animals. They all have something in
common. Carbon compounds known as “organic compounds” are present in all of
them.
4 LU_Q2_Science9_Module4
Organic compounds are group of compounds that contain the element carbon.
These kinds of compounds are produced by plants and animals. However, it can also
be produced artificially which was proven by Frederich Wohler. He discovered that
urea (an organic compound) can be synthesized from ammonium cyanate (a non-
organic compound). Since then, organic compounds have been generalized as the
compound carbon forms with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, halogen, and some other
elements.
Formaldehyde Acetone
The branch of science which deals with the scientific study of structure,
properties and reactions of organic compounds and their derivatives is
known as organic chemistry.
