Organic MoleculesOrganic chemistry is a study of compounds
containing carbon.In addition, they contain mostly H, O and
some N, S and P, and other elements.Those containing metals are said to be
“organometallic.”Hydrocarbons are compounds containing
only H and C.They are nonpolar because they contain onlyC-C and C-H bonds, which are nonpolar.

Isomers of Hydrocarbons
Beyond C3H8, there are isomers.
For example C5H12 has 3 isomers.

Classification of Organic Compounds
Organic compounds are classified by the “functional group” that replaces one or more of the H atoms in a hydrocarbon.Substitution of a H with –OH transforms it into an alcohol.For example, replacing one H with –OH in methane makes it methyl alcohol (or methanol).

Alcohols Contain -OH....but don’t call them hydroxides!!!Hydroxides are only for ionic cmpds.
They contain O-H and C-O bonds, which are polar.
