Organic Chemistry Basics

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Organic chemistry studies carbon-containing compounds. Carbon’s ability to form four covalent bonds leads to a vast array of structures, including chains, rings, and networks. Common elements include hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens. Functional groups (e.g., hydroxyl, carbonyl) define chemical properties. Organic chemistry underlies biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and polymer science, making it essential in many modern industries.
