Carbon has four sites for bonding, and it can makes chains with itself, this is the basis for hydrocarbons and almost all organic molecules. So carbon forms ALOT of compounds that are organic.
so many basis naming elements., here are some; planets,countries,famous inventors,latin and greek words and myths
there are many basis in naming elements, here are some.. based on famous inventors' name, planets, countries, myths, latin and greek words..
Photovoltaic compounds are compounds that transfer electrons in a circuit when exposed to light. Light (which is a type of electromagnetic radiation) transfers energy into the compound, which causes electrons to be rearranged. This rearrangement can be directed into a wire and results in electrical potential (voltage, electromotive force) that can be harnessed. These compounds form the basis of solar cell technology.
Organic compounds have covalent bonds, and these compounds are the basis of life on Earth; the human body is composed of them.
It is carbon!
Living things are based on compounds of carbon.

It makes four bonds.
Organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon, are covalently bonded and they are a non-polar molicule. Organic compounds are often large and contain Carbohydrates lipids protines nuculiar acids Inorganic Compounds do not contain carbon but DO contain ionic acid. They are Polar and often small. they contain water salts acids basis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What the other answerer said is half true - an example of an inorganic compound containing CARBON is:Baking SodaThe formula indeed contains carbon.Sadly, I do not know the unvague definition between the two at the moment. Please don't remove this and add to
Yes carbon form the basis of organic compand carbon and hydrogen that is why their formulae is always CH befor other things can b added
Organic compounds are the basis for all life forms because they are all made of mostly carbon-based compounds and not synthetic materials. Carbon is able to bond with elements easily due to having four valence electrons.
Carbon is the element that forms maximum number of compounds
Carbon is the basic element.It should be in compound to be organic
The nonmetal carbon forms the basis of life. The carbon compounds made by living things are said to be organic. Organic compounds not only contain carbon, but also hydrogen. The most common elements found in living things are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. All of these elements combine in various ways to produce thousands of organic compounds. The study of the chemistry of living things is called biochemistry.
