Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic definition of organic molecules: Organic molecules are primarily composed of carbon atoms, often bonded with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements.
Recognize that organic molecules are characterized by covalent bonding, where atoms share electrons, rather than ionic bonding, which involves the transfer of electrons.
Identify that organic molecules can contain a variety of elements, including nitrogen and oxygen, which are common in many organic compounds such as amino acids and alcohols.
Acknowledge that organic molecules are not inorganic; they are defined by the presence of carbon-hydrogen bonds.
Conclude that the statement 'Organic molecules primarily contain carbon and hydrogen atoms' is true, as it aligns with the fundamental characteristics of organic chemistry.
