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.
Almost all compounds that consist mainly of carbon can be considered organic, the exception being carbides, carbonates, oxides and cyanides, which are excluded for historical reasons.Compounds classified as organic can be further subdivided into specific classes based on their structures and side groups.
