- 3. Carbon atoms will bond with each other to form a chain, often with the peripheral atoms being hydrogen. These compounds, hydrocarbons, are organic compounds composed only of carbon and hydrogen. However, when hydrogen atoms are substituted with other elements, such as fluorine, this changes the properties of the molecule. Methylfluoride (CH3F), a substituted hydrocarbon, is used in semiconductor processing. Figure 1 depicts an incorrect Lewis structure for CH3F.
