Organic Compounds, Polymers, and Biochemicals
Organic chemistry is the study of the preparation, properties, and reactions of those compounds of carbon not classified as inorganic. The uniqueness of element carbon are carbon atoms have ability to form strong covalent bonds to each other while at the same time bonding strongly to atoms of other nonmetals. The carbon atoms are also can form different structure from identical molecular formulas which called isomerism . Compound structure of the carbon atoms are divided into three structures, there are continuous sequence of carbon atoms which called straight chain. The branched chains is the structur of carbon atoms which have branches. Carbon ring or cyclic is the structure of carbon atoms which have closed structure. Functional groups are small structural units within molecules at which most of the compound’s chemical reactions occur. the functional groups are shown attached to the symbol R. symbol R in a structure is to represent purely alkane-like hydrocarbongroup...
