Organic
molecules mean that chemical compounds contain carbon in them. It is true. Organic also
refers to living organisms. So originally, the term organic molecules are found
in living things. Carbon can also bond with other four atoms because of its
outer shell that has four electrons. This is the reason why organic molecules
can be so large because of this bonding. For example, we need proteins in our
body in order to perform the necessary functions to live. Proteins are made up
of nucleic acids. And nucleic acids have a carbon-nitrogen-hydrogen bond in it.
