For those who are wondering what a chemical compound is it is usually and in simple terms a certain number of carbons bonded to a certain number of
hydrogen's (depending on the number of carbons).
Methane has one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms hence the formula CH4
Ethane has two carbon atoms bonded to 6 hydrogen atoms and hence the formula C2H6
Then you can go into a lot of different types of organic molecules which I wont explain but if you're really curious just ask me and I'll be happy to
But a few other organic compounds are
All of these molecules can undergo different reactions to turn into each other. Obviously they have to go through processes but people who know
organic chemistry will get what I mean.
I don't know how many people find that significant but there you are.
An extremely brief summary on organic molecules.
Also some of you seriously make me laugh. You think the idea of finding organic compounds are irrelevant and not interesting when you have no clue
what organic anything is! What would amaze me is if simple life forms like protozoans were found. You must appreciate things. You seem to think actual
life itself is the only evidence of life at all.
