The Variety of Carbon Compounds
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Science 9 Self-Learning Module 9 on The Variety of Carbon
Compounds

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.
This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character 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:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

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. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the Learner:
Welcome to the Science 9 Self-Learning Module 9 on The Variety of Carbon
Compounds
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an active
learner.
This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectations - This points to the set of knowledge and skills

that you will learn after completing the module.

LESSON

Science and technology had paved the way to what man is experiencing today in
terms of convenience, adaptability, innovation, creativity and resourcefulness. It
has paved the way to improve information and communication, industries, health
and medicine, transportation, energy and other areas in our life. Do you know that
there are variety of products at home and in our environment? How are they
classified? Compounds can be organic or inorganic.

Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of carbon
compounds like proteins, fats, enzymes, carbohydrates, hormones, paint, varnish,
plastics, medicines, detergents, glue, rubber, dyes and fibers.
How will you differentiate organic from inorganic compounds?

ORGANIC COMPOUNDS INORGANIC COMPOUNDS

1.Sources Natural sources like plants and Obtain from minerals
animals or materials produced
from living organism
2.Composition Mostly contains carbon with Contains all other elements
hydrogen, nitrogen, (with some exemptions like
phosphorus, fluorine, chlorine, carbonates, carbon dioxide,
bromine, iodine, sulfur,and carbides and cyanides
oxygen
3.Melting and Low and generally below 350 High melting and boiling point
boiling point degrees Celsius and generally above 700
degrees Celsius
4.Solubility Soluble in non-polar solvent Soluble in polar solvent
5, Ignition Combustible and leave no Non-combustible and leave no
residue after burning residue
6.Conductivity Do not form ions in solution Form ions in solution
thus they are non-conductors
7.Properties Generally, they are viscous, They are not volatile and
volatile, and flammable viscous
8.Appearance Mostly solid, liquid and gases Most often in solid form
9. Bond Forms covalent bond Forms ionic and covalent
bonds

Viscosity is the measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow.

Volatility is the measure or the tendency of the compound to evaporate or turn into
gaseous state. Flammability is the measure of how a material easily burns.

The examples and uses or organic compounds are summarized in this table.

 VALUING

Do you know that the Philippines’s main organic export products include muscovado
sugar, fresh bananas, banana chips and coconut oil? These products are exported
to japan, western Europe and United States. The term “organic” is used to denote
products which are free from the use of synthetic fertilizer, pesticide, growth
hormones and regulators, antibiotics, irradiation and genetically modified
organisms. Let us try to patronize local products and “organic products in our
country.
