PPT-2.3: Carbon-Based Molecules

Carbonbased molecules are the foundation of life Bonding Properties of Carbon Carbon forms covalent bonds with up to four other atoms including other carbon atoms 1 2 3 4 Structure of carbonbased molecules. (14.7). Conjugated molecules have alternating carbon-carbon single and double bonds. π-electrons can move freely along all carbon atoms in the conjugated portion of the molecule. The 1D PIB model can be crudely applied to the energy states of a polyene (e.g., β-carotene). organic compounds. isomers. functional groups . Much of the chemistry of life is based on organic compounds. organic compounds. have at least one carbon atom covalently bound to either:. another carbon atom. Biochemistry. Objectives. SWBAT describe the bonding properties of carbon atoms.. SWBAT compare carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.. Starter. We have talked about carbon based molecules in other units.
