Carbon Chemistry
Across
- 3. the organic polymers that form the building blocks of our cells
- 4. a covalent bond in which 2 pairs of electrons are shared
- 6. a molecule that can bond to other identical molecules to form polymers
- 9. a group of atoms that bond to an organic compound and change its properties
- 11. organic compounds that contain ONLY carbon and hydrogen
- 12. a covalent bond in which 3 pairs of electrons are shared
Down
- 1. the hydrocarbon backbone of every organic molecule in Biology
- 2. a chemical reaction that bonds monomers together and also makes a water molecule
- 5. a covalent bond in which only one pair of electrons is shared
- 7. any compound that contains both carbon and hydrogen
- 8. a chemical reaction that breaks a bond between monomers and also breaks a water molecule
- 10. a large molecule made by chaining together small, similar molecules
