week 4 Flashcards
Carbon has four valence electrons, allowing it to form up to four covalent bonds with other atoms
Tetravalency
carbon has the ability to form long chains and branched structures by bonding with other carbon atoms. This property, known as catenation, leads to the formation of complex and varied organic molecules.
catenation
father of organic chemistry
Friedrich Wohler
Compounds that contain carbon. Carbon-hydrogen or a simple C-H bon
