Chemistry of Carbon Compounds

3. I. Carbon’s Unique Properties
A. Most versatile element for bonding 1. 4 valence electrons therefore can form 4 bonds 2. Strong Covalent bonds 3. Can form chains, rings, other geometric structures B. Organic Compounds contain mostly Carbon. 1. Inorganic do not contain Carbon

4. II. Functional Groups molecular group attached to an organic
compound. Influence the reactions that molecules will undergo
Common Functional Groups
1. Hydroxyl OH
2. Carboxyl C – OH
3. Amino N – H
4. Phosphate O - P - OH O H O OH

5. B. Macromolecules – large polymers
1. Monomer - Individual part
2. Polymer - many monomers linked together
a. Polymerization – the process of building a polymer
i. Condensation Reaction - chemical reaction
bonding monomers together releasing H2O ii. Hydrolysis Reaction – chemical reaction breaking monomers apart using H2O

6. III. Energy Currency = ATP
A. Stored in Compounds
B. ATP – Adenosine Triphosphate = main source of energy utilized in life processes
1. Hydrolysis of ATP releases energy for the cell
