Compound with Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen

On the composition of a compound
The universal compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. These four things, between heaven and earth, each have their own characteristics, and there must be a reason for the combination of these four things.

Carbon is the organic foundation of all things. Looking at all things in the world, most of them are alive, and they contain more carbon. Its properties are stable and can be linked to other elements to form various structures, or chains or rings, and it changes endlessly. It is the fundamental structure of a compound.

Hydrogen is also light and active. It is often associated with other elements in covalent bonds, and in compounds, it not only increases its activity, but also changes its physical properties. In organic reactions, hydrogen is often the base of transfer, which affects the direction and speed of the reaction.

Nitrogen, in compounds, also has a key position. Its electronic structure is special, and it can form multiple bonds, or participate in the combination of hydrogen bonds. In nitrogen-containing compounds, it is often alkaline, because it can accept protons. And nitrogen is often combined with carbon and hydrogen to form amines, amides and other types, which are important in biology and chemical industry.

Oxygen is active and likes to form bonds. In compounds, oxygen can form single and double bonds, such as alcohols, alters, ketones, acids, etc., all of which have special properties due to the presence of oxygen. It can increase the polarity of compounds, affecting their solubility, boiling point and other physical properties.

These four elements interact and complement each other in compounds. In different proportions and structures, they form tens of millions of compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. It is widely used in medicine, materials, biology and other fields, providing endless possibilities for the progress of human civilization.
