Overview

Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of carbon-containing compounds, which are also known as organic compounds. These compounds form the basis of life and are found in a wide range of materials, including living organisms, fuels, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and more. Organic chemistry is concerned with understanding the structure, properties, reactions, and synthesis of these carbon-based compounds. The unique aspect of organic chemistry is the carbon atom’s ability to form diverse and complex molecules due to its ability to bond with other carbon atoms and different elements in various ways. This versatility gives rise to an immense variety of organic molecules with distinct shapes, sizes, and functions. Organic chemists study the interactions and transformations of organic compounds, aiming to uncover the underlying principles that govern chemical reactivity. This knowledge is crucial for developing new materials, designing pharmaceuticals, understanding biological processes, and addressing environmental and sustainability challenges. Organic chemistry plays a vital role in many industries, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, materials science, and more.
