Hydrocarbons
o Hydrocarbons are organic molecules consisting
of only carbon & hydrogen
o Many organic molecules (ex. Fats) have
hydrocarbon components
o Hydrocarbons can undergo reactions that release
a large amount of energy
o H & C have ~same electronegativity, so electrons ~equidistant from
both nuclei

Isomers
Isomers are compounds with the same molecular
formula but different structures and properties:
o Structural isomers have
different covalent
arrangements of their
atoms
o Geometric isomers
have the same covalent
arrangements but differ in
spatial arrangements
around a double bond
o Enantiomers are
isomers that are mirror
images of each other

FUNCTIONAL
PROPERTIES
Cross-linking of
cysteines in hair
proteins maintains the
curliness or straightness
of hair. Straight hair can
be permanently curled
by shaping it around
curlers, then breaking
and re-forming the
cross-linking bonds.
Cysteine
Cysteine is an important
sulfur-containing amino
acid.
