Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for a compound to not have a quintary carbon has to be given.

Concept introduction:

Properties of carbon:

  • The valency of carbon is four and it has the ability to take four more electrons to fill its octet.
  • It forms single, double and triple bonds to achieve a complete octet.
  • Catenation is the important property by which it forms bond with other carbon atoms.
  • It has resonance.

Classification of Carbon atom:

Carbons can be classified in to four types,

  • Primary,
  • Secondary,
  • Tertiary
  • Quaternary Carbon
