Science : Ch 04 – Carbon and its Compounds

Buckminsterfullerene is an allotrope of carbon with ǩ0 carbon atoms, which are arranged in the shape of a football. Since this also looks like the geodesic dome designed by the US architect Buckminster Fuller

Reaction between an acid and an alcohol results in the formation of ester, and the reaction is named as esterification.

Buckminsterfullerene is a molecule of carbon in the form of a hollow sphere consisting of 60 C-atoms and is having the formula C₆₀.

The major constituent of the liquefied petroleum gas is butane.

Denatured alcohol is the ethyl alcohol which has been made unfit for drinking purpose by adding small amount of poisonous substance like methanol, pyridine, etc.

Cyclobutane is a cyclic hydrocarbon consisting of four carbon atoms where each carbon atom is attached to the two other carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms.

As the compound, CH₃CH₂CH=CH₂ contains four carbon atoms and a double bond attached to the first carbon, so the I.U.P.A.C name of CH₃CH₂CH=CH₂ is But-1-ene.
