Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry: The branch of chemistry which deals with systematic study of hydro-carbons and their derivatives.

Organic Compound: The compounds obtained from living beings i.e. plants; animals are called organic compounds because they are found in organs of plant and animals. E.g. sugar, fat, oil, proteins, etc.

In-Organic Compound: The compound which are obtained from minerals i.e. non-living sources are called in-organic compound. E.g. marble, different type of salts, etc.

3. Importance of organic chemistry.

HYDRO-CARBONS: The compounds which are made up of only hydrogen and carbon elements by covalent bonds are called HYDRO-CARBONS.

4. Functional Group.

4.1 Characteristics of functional group.

5. Classification of hydro carbons.

5.1 Classification table.

Tetra co-valency: Each carbon atom having four covalent bond is called tetra co-valency. This is due to mutual sharing of electrons to c-atoms with neighboring atoms.

Catenation property of Carbon: Carbons has a unique property of linking itself to other carbon atoms to give open chain or cyclic structure. This property of self linking is known as catenation.
