What are the four major atomic components of organic molecules?4. What is a hydrocarbon? What is one key feature of hydrocarbons?5. In what ways can the carbon skeleton of molecules vary from one another?6. What is an isomer? a. are molecules with the same chemical formula but different structural/spatial arrangements7. List and describe/sketch the three types of isomers? a.8. Why are chemical groups and functional groups important? Different structure, different function, even though same chemical make up.9. plus methyl groupa. Phosphate is only group with a charge associated with it. (-PO42-)b.
