Carbon is found in ___________________
Can _______________________________
Can ____________________with other atoms
When bonding with other atoms, forms a
______________________________
____________________________ any
__________________ molecule
 Molecules without carbon are called
__________________________

Ex. _____________
Carbon Skeletons

________________________  group of
atoms in a molecule that act in ___________
ways with _________________________
Need to know the structures!
The ____________________________
group determine the ________________ of
organic molecules

Ex. ___________________  water-______
(attracted to H2O) and ________________ →
water-____________ (repelled by H2O)
