Study Notes
Organic Chemistry
- Primarily concerned with the study of carbon-containing compounds and their properties, reactions, and synthesis.
- Mainly deals with organic compounds, which are typically found in living organisms, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms.
Characteristics of Organic Compounds
- A key characteristic of organic compounds is that they are typically covalent, meaning they are formed from the sharing of electrons between atoms, rather than the transfer of electrons.
