The Chemistry of Carbon Compounds

  Fertilizer: A fertilizer is any material of natural synthesis origin that is applied to soil or to plant tissues to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. In the latter half of the 20th century, increased use of NITROGEN fertilizers has been a crucial component of the increased productivity of conventional food systems.   Different types of fertilizers: Organic and inorganic fertilizers Nitrogen fertilizers Phosphate fertilizers Potassium fertilizers fertilizer forms Organic and inorganic fertilizers: Organic fertilizers are made from natural and organic materials-mainly compost, or other animal and plant products. These fertilizers are a great source of nutrients, though there isn't a measurable amount of any specific nutrients-some bags will print estimate. Organic fertilizers tend to work slowly and over the long term. It can help to build up your soil over time. One of the best benefits of organic fertilizers is that can be made at home. By usin

  1.Hydrocarbon: A compound composed only of carbon and hydrogen. 2.Functional group: The part of an organic molecule responsible for its chemical properties. 3.Aliphatic (Hydrocarbon): Carbon atom joined together in a straight or branched chain. 4.Alicyclic (Hydrocarbon): Carbon atom joined together in a ring (cyclic) structure. 5.Aromatic (Hydrocarbon): Some/ all of the carbon atoms are found in the benzene ring. 6.Molecular formula: The number and type of atom of each element present in a molecule. 7.Empirical formula: The simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound. 8.Displayed formula: Shows the relative positioning of atoms in a molecule and the bond between them. 9.Structural formula: Shows the arrangement of atom in a molecule. 10.Structural isomer: A compound with the same molecular formula, but different structural formula.  11.Homolytic fission: When a covalent bond breaks and each of the bonded atoms takes one of the shared pair of electrons from the
