Carbon
is the most important element for life. This is because it has 4 valence electrons, so it forms 4 covalent bonds. It can form very long chains of binds. It mostly bonds with hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
3
New cards
Hydrocarbon
long sections of molecules made from hydrogen and carbon. They have similar electronegativities. They are no polar, so they are hydrophobic.
4
New cards
Hydrophobic
they are repelled by water.
5
New cards
Functional Groups
chemical groups attached to the carbon skeleton in chemical reactions.
6
New cards
Hydrophilic
attracted to water.
7
New cards
