Examples of organic molecules are hydrocarbons, aliphatic compounds, aromatic and alicyclic compounds, polymers, biomolecules, and buckyballs. Compare:inorganic molecule.
Carbon is an essential element because of its small size and the high number of stable bonds it makes (4 per atom); this enables the construction of both long carbon chains, and carbon rings, as well as large, complex macromolecules. The simplest types of organic molecules are hydrocarbons,...
Historically there are a few carbon-containing molecules such as the carbides that were not considered organic. An entire field of science, also known as organic chemistry, evolved to study the carbon-containing substances. Organic chemistry was actually born out of a very old, first-century ...
2. Chemistry of Emotions Whenever you are feeling happy, sad, ecstatic, relaxed, or stressed, there are many chemical reactions taking place in your body. It is because of the chemical messengers called neurotransmitters released in the brain that you can fall in love and cry rivers because of...
Hydrolysis, in chemistry and physiology, a double decomposition reaction with water as one of the reactants. The other reactants, and the products of hydrolysis, may be neutral molecules, as in most hydrolyses involving organic compounds, or ionic molecu

Polymer, any of a class of natural or synthetic substances composed of very large molecules that are multiples of simpler chemical units. Polymers make up many of the materials in living organisms, and they constitute the basis of certain minerals and hu
Here are examples of organic chemistry at work: Polymers consist of long chains and branches of molecules. Common polymers you encounter every day are organic molecules. Examples include nylon, acrylic, PVC, polycarbonate, cellulose, and polyethylene. Petrochemicals are chemicals derived from crude oil...
In chemistry, polarity refers to the distribution of the electric charge around atoms, chemical groups, or molecules. Polar molecules occur when there is an electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms. Nonpolar molecules occur when electrons are shared equally between atoms of a diatomic molec...
