Document Summary

Organic molecules: the molecules of life (common organic molecules) Unique properties of carbon: can form long chains and rings, bonding sites are located at equal distances from each other, can combine with four other atoms by single bonds, can also form. Hydrogen and oxygen- are almost always present n, s, p are important in specific types of organic molecules. Arrangement of organic molecules: the same number and type of atoms in two molecules may be arranged differently to give different compounds. Empirical formula: shows the number of each kind of atom present. Structural formula shows the arrangement of atoms and their bonding. Isomers are molecules that have the same empirical formula but different structural formulae. The carbon skeleton: consists of rings or chains of carbon that determine the overall shape of the molecule. Functional group: specific combination of atoms attached to the carbon skeleton, functional group determines the specific chemical properties of the molecule.
