1 Carbon

2 A molecule that contains carbon
Organic Molecule A molecule that contains carbon Ex: C6H12O6, CH4

3 Inorganic molecule A molecule that does NOT contain carbon
Ex: H2O, O2 , NH3

4 What’s so special about Carbon?
Carbon wants to make 4 bonds with other elements which leads to a big molecule ***Remember Carbon has 4 valence electrons***

5 Straight Branched Ringed
3 kinds of carbon skeletons that form the backbone of organic molecules Straight Branched Ringed

6 Straight

7 Branched

8 Ringed

9 Hydrocarbon An organic molecule made of carbon and hydrogen ONLY
Ex: CH4 , C2H6

10 Monomer -A small building block
Polymer- Molecules formed by linking 3 or more monomers

11 Macromolecules Molecules containing thousands of monomers linked by covalent bonds

12 4 categories of macromolecules
1) Carbohydrates 2) Lipids 3) Proteins 4) Nucleic acids
