Straight chain, branched chain, and ring
The three fundamental structures that carbon-based molecules can form are chains, branched structures, and rings. These structures can vary in size and complexity based on the arrangement of carbon atoms and the presence of other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Carbon-based molecules are known as organic compounds. These compounds are based on carbon atoms bonded together with other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, giving rise to a wide variety of complex structures found in living organisms.
carbon-based molecules have 3 fundamental structures- straight chains, branched chains, and rings. In many carbon-based molecules, small molecules are subunits of an entire molecules. each carbon atom has four unpaired electrons in its outer energy level. therefore carbon atoms can form covalent bonds with up to four other atoms, including other carbon atoms.
No, inorganic molecules do not contain carbon and are typically associated with non-living organisms or substances. Organic molecules, on the other hand, are carbon-based and are typically associated with living organisms.
Carbon based molecules are those that have one or more Carbon to Carbon bonds in them, also known as Organic molecules. There are a lot of them.
Organic compounds are based on carbon's versatility in forming new structures.
Hydrocarbons are molecules consisting of/containing only atoms of carbon and hydrogen. There are many different kinds of hydrocarbons based on different numbers of carbon atoms in the molecules and whether or not any of the carbons are connected by double bonds rather than single bonds.

An organic
Organic chemistry (and of course biochemistry) is the branch involving carbon based molecules.
atoms Edit: Atoms and elements are two different things, an elements basic form is an atom. The most common elements found in carbon based molecules besides carbon are Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen. However, there are others depending on the molecule.
