37. In covalent compounds, atoms share valence electrons to satisfy the octet. Each atom shares
one pair or two pairs or three pairs of electrons depending on their combining capacity. In
electron. dot structures only, a number of valence electrons are shown around the symbols
of constituent atoms. Carbon, using its valency of four, can make either single, double or
triple bonds with othe~ carbon atoms or any other atoms. Carbon self-linking property is
called catenation. In hydrocarbons, carbon makes aliphatic or cyclic molecules that are
either saturated or unsaturated. Based on these facts. Read the following paragraph and
answer the questions given below. An element X combines with Y to form a colourless,
odourless gas, Z, which turns lime water milky, is the major constituent of all organic
molecules. Five X atoms combine with hydrogens to form a cyclic saturated hydrocarbon
