Organic Chemistry:

Organic chemistry is described as the chemistry of carbon compounds. A compound of carbon is in forms of living things and in synthetic fabrics and plastics. Organic chemistry is so wide a topic in which it is commonly subdivided within smaller areas. How the carbon is joint and what it is combined along with determines the subdivision for a particular compound. Those subdivisions are referred to as families or classes.

The carbon atoms could combine to form straight chains, rings, or branched chain. The bonds among carbon atoms could be single, double, triple or a combination of these. Another atom (H, O, N, S, and P) and the halogens could be attached to the carbon atoms to yield derivatives.

The huge family of organic compounds holding only carbon and hydrogen are known as hydrocarbons. These could be additional separated within two wide classes, aliphatic (fatty) and aromatic (fragrant).

Aliphatic hydrocarbons are separated within two categories, saturated and unsaturated and within subdivisions alkenes, alkanes, and alkynes. These subdivisions reflect the categories of bond among the carbon atoms.
