- Carbon atoms make a large number of covalent bonds (four).
Abundance of Carbon
- Elemental carbon is not particularly abundant.
- It does not even appear in the list of the most common elements in Earth’s crust.
Organic Compounds
- All living things consist of organic compounds.
- Most organic chemicals are covalent compounds.
Exclusions from Organic Chemistry
- Compounds containing carbonate ions and bicarbonate ions are not considered part of organic chemistry.
- Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are not considered part of organic chemistry.
