The complexity and variety of organic molecules is due to…

  • A. their interaction with water
  • B. the variety of rare elements organic molecules
  • C. the chemical versatility of carbon atoms
  • D. The diverse bonding patterns nitrogen

♦ Relevant knowledge

  • C has the ability to interact with each other to form stable covalent bonds – C – C- . Since C can gain or give away 4 electrons to fill the outermost layer of electrons with enough 8 stable electrons, each C atom can form covalently with 4 other C atoms. This makes it possible to form a framework for a multitude of different organic substances
  • C easily forms covalent lk with C, H, N, P, S, so organic matter contains a large amount of different functional groups.
  • The electrons are able to pair up around each carbon atom to create a tetrahedral spatial structure, so that different types of organic compounds have a 3-dimensional structure.
