The Carbon Compounds
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Science- Grade 9 Self-Learning Module (SLM) on Carbon
Compounds
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both from public and private
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.
For the learner:
Welcome to the Science -Grade 9 Self-Learning Module (SLM) on The Carbon Compounds

What’s More
Congrats! You have already known organic compound and its examples. This time let’s recognize the uses
of common organic compounds.
Procedure:
1.) A. Use the table below to record your data from this activity.
Table 1. Properties of Common Organic Compounds
Materials Odor Phase Viscosity Volatility
Trial (seconds)
1 2 3 Average
A. Kerosene
B. Lubricating Oil
C. Diesel Oil
D. Ethyl Alcohol
B. Place 15 mL of each liquid in the four identical transparent plastic cups. Label each cup according to
the liquid it contains.
C. Observe the materials. After which, write the phase and odor of the materials on the table.
Guide Questions:
1. Which is most viscous? What are the common uses of viscous materials?
2. Which materials are flammable? In what ways are these materials used?
3. Which liquid materials have strong odor? Which ones have weak odor?
4. Why is it important to know the properties of these kinds of organic compounds?
In this activity you have learned about the properties of some common organic compounds and the relationship
of these properties to their uses. You were able to observe in the experiments that kerosene, ethyl alcohol, and
diesel gas are flammable compounds. Ethyl alcohol is volatile compound and lubricating oil is a thick or viscous
liquid.
The Octet Rule explains how electrons become stable. Atoms must have 8 valence electrons to be stable. Having
only 4 valence electrons, the carbon atom becomes stable by sharing its 4 valence electrons with 4 electrons from
another atom.
There are several ways how the carbon atom shares its electrons:
• Carbon can share each valence electron with 4 different atoms forming 4 single bonds, like in methane (left) and
carbon tetrachloride (right):
• Carbon can share two valence electrons with other atoms (double bond), like in carbon dioxide (left), carbon
disulfide (center) and methanol (right):
Carbon can share three valence electrons with other atoms (triple bond) like in ethyne (left) and
hydrogen cyanide (right):
These types of bonding explain why there are varied types of carbon compounds. Carbon can bond with
itself and with other atoms. It can form chains and it can form polymers which are large molecules that consist of
many smaller molecules joined together by covalent bonds. It can also form branched compounds and cyclic
compounds.
Below, left, is nonane, a chain of nine carbons in single bonds and at right, butanol, a chain of 4 carbon with an
alcohol functional group (-OH):
The structure in the upper left part is ethylene which is the monomer in polyethylene or the compound that makes
up our very common plastic

Below left is a branched compound: 3-methyl, 2-pentyne. At right is cyclohexene, a cyclic carbon compound:
Now, try to sum up the things that you have learned today by answering the questions below:
A.
1. ___________ is the measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow.
2. __________is the chemistry of compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen.
3. ___________ is the physical state of the materials, whether it is solid, liquid, or gas.
4. ___________ is the property of liquids used as a fuel like kerosene and ethyl alcohol.
5. ___________ substances that contain carbon and hydrogen; combined with other elements namely
oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur, and halogens.
6. ___________ is used to remove nail polish.
7. ___________ the property of substances that allows it to burn easily.
8. ___________ is a measure of the tendency of substance to evaporate.
9. ___________ is the maximum number of covalent bonds a carbon atom can form.
