5.1

• Organic molecules- the classification of carbon based molecules
• Inorganic molecules- the classification for non carbon based molecules
• Functional Group- A group of atoms within a molecule that interacts in predictable ways with other molecules.
  
• Hydrophilic- the ability to attract water molecules
• Monomers- creates polymers
• Polymers- a line of monomers
• Carbon has
  only 4 electrons in it's highest occupied energy level.
• Each time a monomer is added to a chain, a water molecule is released
• 
  Concept Check 5.1
  Draw a molecule that has a three carbon skeleton and a hydroxyl group on the middle carbon.


• 
  Explain the connection between monomers and polymers.
  A chain of monomers make up a polymer.
  What molecule is released during construction of a polymer? What is this reaction called?
  A water molecule is released during the construction of a polymer. This reaction is called dehydration reaction
  Draw at least three ways in which five carbon atoms could be joined to make different carbon skeletons.
