Organic Chemistry Introduction - What Organic Chemists Do By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Updated April 05, 2016. Organic chemistry is more than simply the study of carbon or the study of chemicals in living organisms. Take a look at what organic chemistry is, why it is important, and what organic chemists do. What Is Organic Chemistry? Organic chemistry is the study of carbon and the study of the chemistry of life. Why Is Organic Chemistry Important? Organic chemistry is important because it is the study of life and all of the chemical reactions related to life. continue reading below our video What Does an Organic Chemist Do? An organic chemist is a chemist with a college degree in chemistry.

Organic compound - Wikipedia Chemical compound with carbon-hydrogen bonds In chemistry, many authors consider an organic compound to be any chemical compound that contains carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds, however, some authors consider an organic compound to be any chemical compound that contains carbon. The definition of "organic" versus "inorganic", and whether some other carbon-containing compounds are organic or inorganic vary from author to author, and are topics of debate. For example, carbon-containing compounds such as alkanes (e.g. methane (CH4)) and its derivatives are considered organic, but many others are considered inorganic, such as halides of carbon without carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bonds (e.g. carbon tetrachloride CCl4), and certain compounds of carbon with nitrogen and oxygen (e.g. cyanide ion CN−, hydrogen cyanide HCN, chloroformic acid ClCO2H, carbon dioxide CO2, and carbonate ion CO2−3).

Organic Chemistry: Jonathan Clayden, Nick Greeves, Stuart Warren: 8601416721125: Amazon.com: Books Organic chemistry Organic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds that contain carbon. Carbon has the ability to form a chemical bond with a wide variety of chemical elements and other carbon atoms. This allows a nearly unlimited number of combinations. The subject of carbon compounds is called organic chemistry because all known organisms, or living things, are made up of water and carbon compounds. Organic chemistry largely involves the synthesis, or formation, of organic products by chemical reaction using different reactants and reagents, the substances used up during a reaction. Several different areas of chemistry expand on the concepts and principles of organic chemistry, including biochemistry, microbiology, and medicine. History[change | change source] The term organic originates from Jons Jacob Berzelius, a 19th century Swedish scientist, who used the term to refer to substances present in living things.
