Rebecca DavenportBIO 1406 BW19/13/16Chapter 4 blueprint1. Organic Chemistry- study of compounds containing carboni. Organic compounds- compounds containing carbonii. EX: C6H12O6, CH42. Why is Carbon so important?i. Can form single, double, and triple covalent bonds in a combination necessary to share 4 valence electrons.ii. Carbon skeletons vary by; 1. Length2. Branching3. double bond position4. presence of rings3. Hydrocarbon? i. Organic compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbonii. What is one key feature of hydrocarbons?4. Isomer? i. Molecules with the same chemical formula but different structural/spatial arrangements.ii. Three types of Isomers:1. Structural isomers- a. contain the same atoms but in different bonding relationshipsb.2. cis-trans isomers- a. positioning around double bondb.3. Enantiomers- a. mirror image of another moleculeb.5. plus methyl
