Carbon’s versatility is explained through its ability to form covalent bonds, leading to a wide variety of compounds. Students learn about hydrocarbons, functional groups (alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids), and homologous series.

Chemical reactions such as combustion, oxidation, substitution, and addition are explained with examples. The importance of carbon compounds like ethanol and ethanoic acid in everyday life is also discussed.
