Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The six elements that are commonly bonded to carbon in organic compounds has to be named.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds:
The compounds which contains a carbon atom bonded to atoms of other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen are said to be Organic compounds.
(b)
Interpretation:
The heteroatoms that are bonded to carbon in organic compounds has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Heteroatom:
The atoms other than carbon and hydrogen that are bonded to carbon atom in organic compounds are known as heteroatoms.
(c)
Interpretation:
Among the elements that are bonded to carbon, which are more electronegative and less electronegative has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
The measure of the tendency of an atom to attract the bond pair of electrons is known as electronegativity. Across the period, electronegativity increases and down the group, it decreases.
(d)
Interpretation:
How the bonding of carbon to heteroatoms increase the number of organic compounds has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Heteroatom:
The atoms other than carbon and hydrogen that are bonded to carbon atom in organic compounds are known as heteroatoms.
