Show transcript
Carbon atoms will form up to four covalent bonds (as they will fill their outer shell with four more electrons).
Carbon atoms can combine with other non-metal atoms to make a wide range of molecules, some with chains and rings.
An organic compound contains two or more elements (including carbon).
A lot of organic compounds also include hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
Organic compounds can be found both in nature, but also produced synthetically.
