ib bio carbon quiz

organic chemistry

carbon based molecules make up all living things

it has a bond capacity of 4/ makes 4 covalent bonds and is a tetravalent atom

Why carbon?

carbon skeletons

chains of carbons either straight, ringed, branched, or attached to other things

hydrocarbons

non polar and hydrophobic skeletons with just Hydrogens attached

isomers

same molecular formula, but different forms

structural isomers, geometric isomers, enantiomers

What are the types of isomers?

enantiomers

mirror image isomers

functional groups

things that are attached to carbon skeleton that are involved in chemical reactions

OH
