In molecules with still more carbons , every grouping of a carbon bonded to four
other atoms has a tetrahedral shape . But when two carbon atoms are joined by a
double bond , all bonds around those carbons are in the same plane .

The subtle difference in shape between geometric isomers can dramatically
affect the biological activities of organic molecules . For example , the
biochemistry of vision involves a light - induced change of rhodopsin , a chemical

Molecular Diversity Arising from Carbon Skeleton Variation The carbon skeletons
of organic molecules vary in length and shape and have bonding sites for atoms
of other elements . Hydrocarbons consist only of carbon and hydrogen .
