WHAT IS ORGANIC CHEMISTRY?
Organic chemistry as the name implies, is the study of
organic substance which are formed by living organism such as plants and
animals. Though this substances can be synthesized from inorganic materials in
the laboratory. Therefore it can now be
defined as the chemistry of carbon
compounds. With the exception of a
few compounds such as oxide, trioxocarbonates (IV) and the metallic carbides,
which are conventionally referred to as inorganic, all other carbon compounds
are grouped together in this separate branch of chemistry. This grouping is
valid and confirmed because of
·
Their many common features;
·
Their large number; and
·
The great medical, biochemical and economic
importance of many of them.
