Front

Why is it important to recognize organic molecules?

Back

Because they could transfer energy when they react with oxygen.

Front

What happens to energy transfer with more carbon-carbon or carbon-hydrogen bonds?

Back

The more bonds a molecule has, the more energy it could transfer when reacting with oxygen.

Front

Define organic molecules.

Back
