Question

Why is it essential for every organic compounds to have hydrogen in it?

Answer 1

Organic compounds always contain carbon along with other elements that are needed for living organisms to function. Carbon is the key element because it has four electrons in an outer electron shell that can hold eight electrons. As a result, it can form many types of bonds with other carbon atoms and elements such as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Hydrocarbons and proteins are good examples of organic molecules that can form long chains and complex structures. The organic compounds made up of these molecules are the basis for chemical reactions in the cells of plants and animals – reactions that provide the energy for finding food, for reproduction and for all the other processes necessary for life.
