Document Summary

Carbon itself won"t form with a hydrogen bond. There are many bonds that share easily with carbon: h, o, n, & other c. Has different types of structures: chain, ring, etc. Characteristic groups of atoms that are: things that are attached to the carbon backbone, have specific chemical & physical properties, the part of organic molecule that reacts, **usually less stable than c backbone** Examples are: hydrogen, hydroxyl (oh), carboxyl, amino, phosphate, methyl. Taking 2 monomers and making a polymer. You"re adding a short polymer & a monomer. The short polymer ends with a hydroxide, and the monomer starts with a hydroxide. Those two combine to from water, and the ends now join together to form a larger polymer. Because it lost a water, it"s essentially dehydrated . Every polymer we talk about in this class is going to be assembled & disassembled. This is why we"re talking about these two processes. The polymer is split by adding water (h2o)
