Document Summary

Almost all the molecules a cell makes are composed of carbon bonded to: Methane (ch4) is one of the simplest organic compounds. Each of the four lines in the formula for methane represents a pair of shared electrons. Methane and other compounds composed of only carbon and hydrogen are called. Four covalent bonds link four hydrogen atoms to the carbon atom hydrocarbons. Carbon, with attached hydrogens, can form chains of various lengths. A carbon skeleton is a chain of carbon atoms that can differ in length and be: Compounds with the same formula but different structural arrangements are called isomers. The unique properties of an organic compound depend on: The sex hormones testosterone and estradiol (a type of estrogen) differ only in the. The size and shape of its carbon skeleton. The groups of atoms that are attached to that skeleton. There are six chemical groups important in the chemistry of life.
