Carbon number

In organic chemistry, the carbon number of a compound is the number of carbon atoms in each molecule.[1] The properties of hydrocarbons can be correlated with the carbon number, although the carbon number alone does not give an indication of the saturation of the organic compound. When describing a particular molecule, the "carbon number" is also the ordinal position of a particular carbon atom in a chain.
