Concept Introduction:
Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbon derivatives are the one in which the compounds contain hydrogen and carbon atoms along with one or more additional elements. The additional elements that can be present in hydrocarbon derivatives are oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, chlorine, bromine etc.
Carbon has a total of four valence electrons. This means carbon can form four covalent bonds. Carbon atom is the main constituent in organic compounds. Carbon atom has the ability to form bonds with each other carbon atoms in a chain form, cyclic form or both. This is possible because of the electronic configuration of carbon atom. This is present in Group IVA of periodic table. Carbon has a total of four valence electrons. For the formation of any compounds, an additional four electrons are needed to give the carbon atom a octet configuration. Carbon can form covalent bonds like single, double and triple bond. Other bonds are not possible because, the octet configuration will be attained.
