Currently over twentymillion compounds have been reported in thechemical literature; about 90% of them areorganic, ie they contain carbon. The remainingcompounds are called inorganic and are formedfrom the other elements, of which there areabout 100. That carbon so dominatescompound formation is a result of the fact that itis almost unique in its ability to form longchains with other carbon atoms.
neighbor in the periodic table, silicon, can do this but rarely does.] These chains with one carbon joined to a second and the second joined to a third, etc., can be branched, ie, chains of carbon atoms can be attached to carbons in the original chain. It is also possible for one carbon in a chain to become bonded to
