Carbon atom
|
Total of 6 electrons---- 4 in outer shell
almost always share electrons with elements such as hydrogn, nitrogen, and oxygen caan bond with as many as 4 other elelments most often shares electrons with other carbon atoms |

Isomers
|
Same number and kinds of atoms in a variety of arrangements
may have different properties |
|
Carbon skeleton and functional groups
|
Size and shape of carbon skeleton or backbone
functional group - specific comination of bonded atoms that always has the same chemical properties and always reacts the same way |
|
Functonal group
|
Specific combinatio of bonded and always reacts the same way
reactivity of organic molecule largely dependent on attached functional groups often use R to stand for the rest of the molecule |
