Organic Molecules in Everyday Chemistry

Organic molecules are carbon-based compounds found in living things and in many everyday products. Most organic compounds have carbon as the main element, bonded to hydrogen and other carbon atoms. Some carbon-containing substances, such as carbonates, cyanides, and simple oxides like CO and CO2, are not classified as organi...

I composti chimici formati principalmente da atomi di carbonio legati ad atomi di idrogeno, ossigeno, azoto o zolfo, sono chiamati composti organici. I composti organici formano una vasta gamma di molecole:da elementi fondamentali della vita, come il DNA o le pareti cellulari delle piante, a materiali che liberano energia, come i combustibili. D...
