Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds, which are molecules that contain carbon. Organic compounds are found in all living things and are also used in a wide variety of products, from plastics to pharmaceuticals.
This book is an introduction to the study of organic chemistry. It is designed for students who have a basic understanding of general chemistry and who are interested in learning more about the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds.
The book is divided into ten chapters. The first chapter provides an overview of organic chemistry and introduces the basic concepts of organic structure and bonding. The remaining chapters cover the major classes of organic compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, arenes, alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and amines.
Each chapter includes a detailed discussion of the structure, properties, and reactions of the compounds in that class. The chapters also include a number of worked examples and practice problems to help students understand the material.
This book is a valuable resource for students who are interested in learning more about organic chemistry. It is also a useful reference for chemists who work in a variety of fields, including pharmaceuticals, materials science, and forensic science.
