37. But why? What’s so special about organic compounds?
Organic chemistry is the study of all compounds that contain bonds between carbon atoms. But what is carbon? Carbon is an element, like oxygen, calcium, or gold. POINT TO PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS. The graphite in your pencils contains carbon. A diamond, believe it or not, is pure carbon. And your body is FULL of carbon. Why is carbon so widespread? Well, carbon is a very special element. Carbon atoms have four valence electrons that can join with the electrons from other atoms to form strong covalent bonds. In other words, a carbon atom can bond to the atoms of many other elements. And a carbon atom can also bond to other carbon atoms, giving it the ability to form long chain of carbon. Not many other elements can do this, but carbon can.
