Aliphatic Organic Molecules Organic molecules are based on carbon, therefore the core of the element contains carbon, though unlike benzine they don't contain carbon rings. Alternatively organic molecules were divided depending on the smell they gave off. One group was called Aramaic, which tended give off a 'nice' smell, and the other was called aliphatic, which tended to give off a 'bad' smell. This is where the organic molecules get the name aliphatic. _______________________________________________________________ Why Does Carbon Form Lots of Stable Compounds? One thing carbon does to magnify its stability is bong with itself, which doubles it in strenght. Another major reason is the fact that it forms chains really easy also adding to the fact that it has lots of stale compunds. Finally, the C-C bond is extremely stable as you will see in the table below where I will compare it to other bonds and see which bond has the highest bond...
