It is the study of carbon atoms and its compounds. Carbon compounds outnumber all other compounds combined > carbon compounds can form many different bonds > bonds can have different arrangements > carbon can form long chains.

types of bonds:
> alkanes - single bonds
> alkenes - double bonds
> alkynes - triple bonds

There are 3 types of chemical formulas
1. molecular formular : C7H16
2. condensed structural formula: CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3
3. structural formula:
