hey mate here is your answer
Introduction to Organic Compounds
Earlier people thought that compounds which are obtained from plants and animals are organic compounds and compounds which are obtained from minerals, non-living sources are termed as inorganic compounds. However, the modern definition of organic compounds is a bit different to this.
An organic compound is defined as any compound whose molecules contain carbon and hydrogen ( also known as ” hydrocarbons” ) or compound that is the derivative of it. The branch of science which deals with the scientific study of structure, properties and reactions of hydrocarbons and their derivatives is known as organic chemistry.
Characteristics of Organic Compounds
The general characteristics of Organic Compounds include:
Can be isolated as well as prepared in laboratoryComprise almost 90% of all known compounds.Mostly built up of only three elements- carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Other elements like halogen, nitrogen as well as phosphorous are also present but to a lesser extent.Possess complex structures and high molecular weightsTheir properties are decided by certain active atom or group of atoms known as the functional group.They are mostly insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.They are combustible in natureChemical reactions involving organic compounds proceed at slower rates.
Hope this will help you
