All Organic Chemistry Concepts
Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing compounds, especially those built from carbon-hydrogen frameworks and modified by functional groups.
Hydrocarbon
A hydrocarbon is an organic compound made only of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Common hydrocarbon families include alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
Functional Group
A functional group is a specific arrangement of atoms in an organic molecule that gives the molecule characteristic chemical properties and typical reactions.
Polymer
A polymer is a very large molecule made by linking many smaller repeating units called monomers into long chains or networks.
