Document Summary
>>>>>>>>aside from water, most biologically related molecules contain carbon. Carbon atoms are the most versatile building blocks of molecules. >>>another factor which leads to the versatility of organic molecules is the attachment of functional groups (see table 3-1) --functional groups are small characteristic groups of atoms which are frequently bonded to the carbon skeleton of organic molecules. Can bind to 2, 3, or 4 other atoms. 2 chemically reactive. which they are located: hydrogen group (-h, hydroxyl group (-oh, carboxyl group (-cooh, amino groups (-nh2, phosphate groups (-po4, methyl groups (-ch3, sulfhydryl groups (-sh) Are regions of organic molecules which are frequently. Behave consistently from one organic molecule to another. Can determine the chemical properties of the organic molecule in. There are seven general functional groups found in organic molecules: hydrogen group (-h) --hydrogen group is a functional group of a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom (of the carbon skeleton): hydroxyl group (-oh)
