ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

The study of organic substances, which contain covalent connections between carbon atoms, and their structures, characteristics, and reactions, is known as organic chemistry. Their structural formula is determined by study of structure. The majority of the existing carbon compounds were thought to have originated in living organisms in the 19th century, giving rise to the speciality of chemistry known as organic chemistry. Numerous valuable goods, such as agricultural chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food additives, plastics, paint, enzymes, cosmetics, and various synthetic materials are created through the process of organic chemistry.

The study of life and the chemical processes connected to it is what organic chemistry is all about, making it crucial. Medical professionals, veterinary professionals, dental professionals, pharmacologists, chemical engineers, and chemists are just a few professions that use an understanding of organic chemistry.

All living organisms have four primary categories, or types, of organic compounds:

·         Carbohydrates

·         Lipids

·         Proteins and

·         Nucleic acids.

Petrol, plastics, detergents, colours, food additives, natural gas, and medications are a few examples.
