In my research I found 12 characteristics of an innovator. Regardless of the industry you are in, the company your work for, or your position in that company, if you possess the following characteristics, you can be one of the people that makes things happen in your organization.
Carbocations are species bearing a formal + charge on carbon. The have sp2 hybridization and trigonal planar geometry, with an empty p orbital on carbon, perpendicular to the plane containing the substituents (see diagrams shown to the right).
Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates have the general molecular formula CH 2 O, and thus were once thought to represent hydrated carbon. However, the arrangement of atoms in carbohydrates has little to do with water molecules. Starch and cellulose are two common carbohydrates. Both are macromolecules with molecular weights in the hundreds of thousands. Both are polymers (hence polysaccharides); that is, each is built from repeating units, monomers, much as a chain is built from its links.
