    CHEMISTRY
    Organic chemistry is the study of the
    structure, characteristics, and
    interactions of organic molecules
    and materials in order to determine
    their structural formula.
    Carbon atoms are unique due to their
    ability to form long, durable chains with
    branches or rings of various sizes, often
    containing thousands of carbon atoms,
    unlike silicon which forms shorter and
    less durable chains.
    Carbon is an essential element for all life
    forms on Earth. Whether these life forms take
    in carbon to help manufacture food or release
    carbon as part of respiration, the intake and
    output of carbon is a component of all plant
    and animal life. Carbon is in a constant state
    of movement from place to place
    Catenation involves the self-linking of
    atoms to form chains and rings,
    influenced by electronic and steric factors
    such as double bond capacity and
    molecular orbital configuration.
    The main reason organic chemistry is so
    important is that it studies chemical reactions
    that take place in living beings. Without
    organic chemistry, scientists would not have
    been able to explore the mechanisms of
    different changes occurring during
    metabolism.
