The Chemistry of Carbon
(S9MTIIg-17)
Introductory Message
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from
public institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator, in helping the learners meet the
standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and
economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire
the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and
circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the
module:
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also
need to keep track of the learners’ progress while allowing them to manage their own
learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do
the tasks included in the module.

What I Need to Know
This module encourages you to be familiar with the element carbon. This
will give you insights about the uniqueness of carbon that makes it as the major
element in organic chemistry. Also, this will equip you necessary information
about the structure of carbon, organic chemistry and the carbon compounds.
This will serve as an introduction for you to explain how the structure of the
carbon atom affects the type of bonds it forms (S9MTIIg-17).
Specifically, after going through this module, you are expected to:
1. differentiate; (a) organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry, (b) types of
hydrocarbons, and (c) types of aliphatic hydrocarbons;
2. classify compounds whether it is organic or not;
3. explain what makes the element carbon unique; and
4. appreciate the importance of carbon in our lives.
What I Know

What’s In
Do you still remember how elements combine with each other through
chemical bonding? Let’s have a recall about chemical bonding. Illustrate the
formation of compound from the given elements.
Questions:
1. How will you differentiate ionic bonding from covalent bonding?
2. Why do elements bond with each other?
Now that you are aware about chemical bonding where elements either
transfer or share electrons to attain stability, let us study more about how this
bonding is involved in the formation of different compounds - specifically those
related to the element carbon. Are you ready? Let us proceed!
5
What’s New
Direction: Carefully read the selection and answer the question that follows.
Question:
1. What do you think is the reason why carbon has many applications?
Based on the selection that you have read, it seems that carbon is almost
everywhere. It is amazing how carbon is capable of forming millions of
compounds. How is it possible? There must be an explanation behind this. Let’s
find out!

THE CHEMISTRY OF CARBON
What is It
7
• Because carbon has four valence electrons and needs eight to satisfy the
Octet rule, it can bond with up to four additional atoms, creating countless
compound possibilities.
It is amazing how carbon can bond in so many ways. You could say in terms
of bonding, it is the most versatile element on the Periodic Table. Now, let’s try to
test what you have learned by completing the following tasks.

Hydrocarbons are examples of simple organic 15. A
compounds. They are separated into two types:
aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Carbon is unique because carbon atom has four
valence electrons. Because of this unique
configuration, it is easier for the carbon atom to
share its four electrons with another atom or atoms
than to lose or gain four electrons.
What Can I Do
1. Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
2. It involves carbon dioxide
3. Too much carbon dioxide might result to
environmental problems such as global warming
and climate change.
4. Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas
that helps to trap heat in our atmosphere. Without it,
our planet would be inhospitably cold. However, a
gradual increase in CO2 concentrations in Earth's
atmosphere is helping to drive global warming,
threatening to disrupt our planet's climate as
average global temperatures gradually rise.
