Organic chemistry is a chemistry sub discipline involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms.
Organic chemistry
Aromatic compounds.
What is organic chemistry?
Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
---|---|
Organic reactions | Organic reactions are chemical reactions involving organic compounds. The basic organic chemistry reaction types are addition reactions, elimination reactions, substitution reactions, pericyclic reactions, rearrangement reactions, photochemical reactions and redox reactions. |

---|---|
Alcohols | Alcohols (R-OH) take the suffix "-ol" with an infix numerical bonding position: CH3CH2CH2OH is propan-1-ol. The suffixes -diol, -triol, -tetraol, etc., are used for multiple -OH groups: Ethylene glycol CH2OHCH2OH is ethane-1, 2-diol. |
Study the nature of chemicals.
Chemistry laboratory.
Examples | Explainations |
---|---|
ketones | In general ketones (R-CO-R) take the suffix "-one" with an infix position number: CH3CH2CH2COCH3 is pentan-2-one. If a higher precedence suffix is in use, the prefix "oxo-" is used: CH3CH2CH2COCH2CHO is 3-oxohexanal. |
When a Bond Making or Bond Movement arrow ends at an octet atom, then a Bond Breaking or a second Bond Movement processes has to "clear out" the extra pair of electron.
Cationic species like oxonium ions, ammonium ions and the like are usually NOT electrophilic at the atom bearing the formal positive charge.
