Abstract
Was supposed a numerical relationship between atoms of Hydrogen and
Carbon in a hydrocarbon, assumption valid for all types of chains. In
the proposed equation, variables such as number and types of carbon
bonds are present. as well as the possible cycles. It was shown that the
equation reduces to the known ``general formulas'' when applied to the
type of chain in question. There is also a generalization of the
equation to include elements of the group 16 (6A) of the Periodic Table,
expanding its application to the molecules containing functional groups
of this elements (we used functional groups containing oxygen as
examples). This application generates an equation for each functional
group, in an effort to study them algebraically; this effort points to
the objective of the article, which is to provide algebraic foundations
for the countable properties in chemical bonding. Finally, possible
generalizations of the equation were mentioned, pointing out ways to be
followed by those who are interested in this new subject. Even though it
was done as a pure science research, it is easy to ignore
non-interesting variables and introduce new interesting ones.
