There are thousands of carbon compounds around in nature and also synthetically. Some of the names include hydrocarbons (only H and C in them), alchols (an OH functional group in them) and many more. Synthetically, there are Fullerines ('bucky balls' such as C60), and carbon nanotubes.
What else can I help you with?
What are compounds made by living things called?
Organic compounds made by living things are called carbon compounds. This is because carbon is required by all living things to function.
What class of compounds contains only carbon hydrogen and nitrogen?
These compounds are called amines.
Is it true that some organic compounds do not have carbon?
No, all organic compounds contain carbon as their essential element. The definition of organic compounds is based on the presence of carbon atoms, although some inorganic compounds may also contain carbon.
What is the Compounds that are built around the element carbon?
Compounds built around the element carbon are called organic compounds. Carbon is unique in its ability to form long chains and complex structures, making it the basis for life on Earth. Examples of organic compounds include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
What are organic and inorganic compounds?
In general organic compounds / substances / materials contain carbon atoms bonded with other atoms and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds.Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).all compounds which are having carbon and hydrogen essentially in molecular formulas are called organic compounds.These may have any other element also.eg;CH3COCH3 (Acetone)Compounds having only carbon and hydrogen are called as hydrocarbons. they are also a class of organic compounds.eg;CH4 (methane)Any other compound which donot have either of carbon& hydrogen is called as inorganic compound.eg; CO2, H2O are inorganic compounds
Compounds that contain carbon are called what?
Compounds containing carbon are referred to as organic compounds
What are compounds containing no carbon called?
they are called inorganic compounds
What are compounds called that do not have carbon in them?
Inorganic compounds.
Why is it called the organic chemistry or carbon compounds Chemistry?
Organic chemistry is sometimes called carbon compounds chemistry because all of the compounds you look at contain carbon.
What compounds containing carbon?
Every single organic thing contains carbon.
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.
What are compounds made by living things called?
Organic compounds made by living things are called carbon compounds. This is because carbon is required by all living things to function.
What are compounds called that are made of carbon?
You may be referring to organic compounds. All organic compounds contain carbon but all compounds that contain carbon are not necessarily organic. A more general term would be carbonaceous.
Chemical compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen are called?
Compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen bonding are collectively termed organic compounds. These are simply compounds that would contain hydrogen and carbon elements.
What are chlorofluorocarbones?
Chlorofluorocarbons also called the CFC refer to the organic compounds containing fluorine, chlorine and carbon.
What are the compounds that are made of carbon and hydrogen?
Compounds that are made of carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. They are the simplest organic compounds and can be classified into different types such as alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes based on the types of carbon-carbon bonds present. These compounds are the basis for many organic molecules found in nature and are essential for life.
Compounds made of carbon and hydrogen are called?
it is called a Hydrocarbon
