OCTET RULE
A stable molecule results when the valence shell of eight electrons has been achieved for all atoms in a molecule
HYDROCARBONS
Unsaturated: Alkenes (contains one or more double bonds) and Alkynes (contains one or more triple bonds)

Sample uses of Aldehydes
Formaldehyde (formalin)
- From pressed-wood products containing formaldehyde resins
- Used for preserving tissue specimens and embalming bodies
- Used to sterilize soil or other materials
Propionaldehyde (propanal)
- Comes from various plant sources
- Used as flavoring agent
Sample uses of Ketones
Dimethyl ketone (acetone)
- Used as solvent for lacquer, acetylene, plastics, and varnishes; and as a paint and varnish remover
Cyclohexanone
- Used in the production of nylon

The two-hole wheel is analogous to the oxygen atom, which can only connect to two other atoms.
The capacity of carbon to form Its number and configuration of electrons are responsible for its bonds with four other atoms.
SECOND VIDEO
Each carbon atom can establish four chemical bonds with other atoms and because carbon atoms are about the perfect size to fit comfortably as members of very massive molecules, carbon is the only element that can generate so many distinct compounds.
THIRD VIDEO
The carbon footprint of a bottle of water, for example, includes the CO2 or CO2 equivalent emitted during the bottle’s manufacture as well as the amount emitted during the bottle’s transportation to the customer.
The total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) produced by our actions is referred to as our carbon footprint.
