A) Presence of carbon, hydrogen, four electrons in the outer orbital, and the attachment of a functional group.
B) Presence of sodium, chlorine, four electrons in the outer orbital, and the attachment of a functional group.
C) Presence of carbon, hydrogen, three electrons in the outer orbital, attachment of a functional group.
D) Presence of oxygen, hydrogen, four electrons in the outer orbital, attachment of a functional group.
E) Presence of carbon, hydrogen, four protons in the outer orbital, attachment of a functional group.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organic molecules will have carbon, hydrogen, four electrons in the outer orbital, and a functional group attached to it. Sodium, chloride and oxygen are not necessary for organic molecules. Protons are not found in the outer orbitals.
