Organic Chemistry Fundamentals

• There are around 4 million known organic compounds, mostly made up of C, N, O, H.
• Inorganic compounds are less numerous than organic compounds.
• Carbon atoms can form up to 4 strong covalent bonds and can connect to each other in various ways.
• The order of connections between carbon atoms can create different structures.
• Isomers are compounds with the same formula but different structures.
• Heteroatoms (O, N, P, S, halogens) can participate in molecular formation in carbon compounds.
• Heteroatoms create functional groups, which significantly affect the properties of compounds.
• Examples of functional groups include hydroxyl, aldehyde, ether, carboxyl, and amino groups.
• Propanol and propylamine are examples of compounds with functional groups.
• The structure of organic compounds is determined by the arrangement of atoms and functional groups.
