ï§Carbon-based molecules are called organic compounds. ï§â¯By sharing electrons, carbon can ââ¯bond to four other atoms and ââ¯branch in up to four directions. ï§â¯compounds composed of only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. ï§â¯A carbon skeleton is a chain of carbon atoms that can be ââ¯branched or ââ¯unbranched.
Carbon Compounds. Carbon is very special because it can form so many compounds. The explanation lies deep inside the atom. Carbon atoms can form strong links with four other atoms. All carbon compounds that form tissues plants, tar, oil, natural gas, etc. will burn (they are combustible) and can be used as a fuel. When they burn, the compound is oxidised and carbon dioxide is produced.
