CARBON AS ACHEMICAL OF LIFE: Carbon is one of the most abundant atom on the planet available in both plants and animals. There are very few if any substance of medical importance without at least a single atom of carbon in their chemical structure. carbon is so common that we shall be meeting in almost all chemicals of life that we shall be looking at, and those we have already looked at. It surfaces in all carbohydrates, Hydrocarbons, Lipids and even in gases such as Carbon dioxide and Carbon mono oxide.
BONDING OF CARBON: Carbon is capable of bonding with several other atoms in nature including but not limited to; Oxygen in which case it forms either Carbon dioxide or Carbon monoxide, Hydrogen in which case there is formation of hydrocarbons, Nitrogen where the is formation of cyanides among others.
The bonding of carbon is not limited to individual atoms but also, to functional groups and several compounds including the nitro group, carbon to carbon bonds and ions such as chloride (Cl-), Bromide (Br-) among others.
