Organic chemistry
It is the study of the chemistry of organic compounds
Organic compounds:They are carbon compounds existing
at
in living organisms as animals & plants
h
Hydrocarbons: Compounds containing carbon and hydrogen
ed
only.
Homologous series: A family of organic compounds that
oM
have:
1) The same general formula
2) Same functional group
arc
3) Similar chemical properties
4) Different physical properties
