- Organic chemistry
- it is the study of molecules that have carbon atoms
- carbon often bonds to itself
- you can get long chains of carbon and hydrogen
- it is defined as the study of the structure,properties,composition,reactions,and preparation of carbon containing compounds. this definition includes chemicals extracted from living things, but also man-made polymers like plastics
- organic chemistry is carbon centric. carbon is the key atom in all these molecules, and carbon atoms do some very predictable things like, make four bonds
- polymer is a common fuel for home heating and barbecue grills. its molecular formula is c3h8
- a molecular formula tells us the atoms we have and how many of each atom there is but it doesn't tell us what's bonded to what
- organic molecules can make carbon chains
- all plastics are polymers,though not all polymers are plastics
