Organic chemistry

What you'll learn

1. 1

   Imagine a set of LEGO bricks — different colours, different shapes. Organic chemistry is like playing with a special set where the bricks are carbon atoms! 🧱

2. 2

   Here's a simple organic molecule: methane. One carbon atom (C) holds hands with four hydrogen atoms (H). That's it!

3. 3

   How many hydrogen atoms are attached to the carbon in methane?

4. 4

   Let's build ethane — two carbon atoms joined together, each with three hydrogens.

5. 5

   What is the formula for ethane?

6. 6

   Now build a molecule of propane — 3 carbons in a row, each with enough hydrogens so every carbon has 4 bonds.

7. 7

   Propane has 3 carbons and how many hydrogens?
