Chemistry — Basic Principles Of Organic

This is carbon's unique ability to link with other carbon atoms to form long chains or rings.

Atoms share electron pairs. These can be sigma ( ) bonds (single bonds) or pi ( ) bonds (found in double and triple bonds). 2. Electronic Effects (The "Six Pillars") Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry

To achieve stable shapes, carbon’s atomic orbitals combine to form hybrid orbitals : This is carbon's unique ability to link with
