Classification of organic compounds and Based on the structure
11th Chemistry Volume-2
Organic chemistry is a study of carbon compound . Carbon has a tendency to form more compounds with itself and other atoms (H-Hydrogen, O-Oxygen, N-Nitrogen, S-Sulphur and X-Halogens) than any other elements. The tendency of an atom to forms a self-linking of bonds with the atoms of the same element is said to be catenation. The high strength of C-C bond is manage for its catenation property. The word 'organic' means living organisms. Organic compounds are found only the living organs.Since that millions of organic compounds are synthesised and characterised. The field of organic chemistry is very vast and its principles find applications in many industries including food, textile, pertrochemical, dye,polymers, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, fetilizers etc... Discuss the importance of organic chemistry is just like that describe a drop of water in a mighty ocean. chemical bonding and molecular structure will help in understanding the properties of organic compounds. the carbon has 4 valence electrons and its ground state of electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p2. An atom can attain noble gas electronic configuration either by sharing of electrons or transferring. It is not possible for the carbon to form either C4- or C4+ ions to attain the nearest to the noble gas configuration. it requires large amount of energy. This implies that carbon cannot forms ionic bond. In all compounds of carbon contains 4 covalent bonds.
