biochemistry Flashcards
organic chemistry is the study of
carbon compounds
carbon forms bonds
single double triple
when carbon forms four single covalent bonds it is shaped like a
tetrahedron
non polar or water fearing
hhydrophobic
polar or water loving
hydrophilic
organic molecules are determined by
groups of atom (functional groups)
bond to carbon skeleton and behave in characteristics ways
