Organic molecules are carbon-containing compounds whose structures are typically built around carbon atom chains. Unlike inorganic molecules, they must contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms.

Organic Molecules

There are 2 types of Isomers and they are:
- Isomers
- Structural Isomers
- Stereoisomers

Types of Isomers

Is a large molecule made up of thousands of atoms which are covalently bonded  atoms. This very large molecule is important to biological processes. 

Macromolecules

Isoprene is a five-carbon hydrocarbon molecule that serves as the chemical precursor for isoprenoids. Its structure consists of a four-carbon chain with a methyl group attached to the second carbon.
