What is the name of compounds that contains carbon?
They are termed organic compounds. Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons and they are a subset of organic compounds.
Why are there no compounds named cyclomethane or cycloethane. Why don't we make the Avogadro constant some convenient round number such as 1 x 10 25?
Cyclomethane and cycloethane: "cyclo" referes to a closed shape (triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, etc.), for that you need at least three points (in this case carbon). Therefore it is impossible to make a "cyclo" structure with one dot/carbon (methane) or two dot/carbon (ethane) Avogadro's constant: It was the original value, and to honour the scientist who discovered it, the scientific comunity is keeping it that way. It's just the way things are: why does a dozen = 12 and not something like 10? Why is pi or e such a weird number? etc.
What reacts with 1-methyl cyclohexanol to form 1-chloro cyclomethane?
