Organic+Molecules

= = == =Organic Molecules. =

CHNOPS - why? -stable -C-carbon makes most bonds -all non-metals dont give off electrons

__**Small: **__ O2 H2O CO2 NaCl

*atom count: 2-5

__**Medium: **__ -hydrocarbons (H,C) methane


 * substitutes:**
 * alcohol (-OH)
 * carboxyl (-COOH)
 * animes (-NH2)

*atom count:5-100


 * polymer= repeated chains of molecules (plastics)**

__** Large: **__

- end with -in or -ine (DNA=huge!) -long chains of (C, H, O)
 * protiens: amino acids linked. (meat)
 * carbohydrates: sugars, starches. (grains)
 * lipids: fats (C, H, O)

*atom count: 100-1,000's

ALL ARE IMPORTANT TO LIFE!!!
