Question

Can Someone give me Introduction for Organic Chemistry... Please do Use Simple Terms... thankyou!

Answer 1

organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry which deals with structure, property,reaction and state of carbon.

Answer 2

Organic compounds are the hydrocarbons and their derivatives and organic chemistry is that branch of chemistry that deals with the study of these compounds
Tetravalency of carbon

The atomic number of Carbon is 6 and its electronic configuration is 2,4 i.e. it has 4 valence electrons. Thus carbon is always tetracovalent, i.e. it forms 4 covalent bonds with other atoms

Due to tetravalency of carbon it has a tetrahedron shape.
Catenation- The self linking property of carbon is known as catenation. This is the main reason of existence of such large number of compounds
Classification of organic compounds

Functional groups:A functional group may be defined as an atom or a group of atoms present in a molecule which largely determines the chemical properties.
