Resumo de The Study Of Organic Chemistry

The Study of Organic ChemistryOrganic chemistry is primarily devoted to the unique properties of the carbon atom and its compounds. These compounds play a critical role in biology and ecology, Earth sciences and geology, physics, industry, medicine and -- of course -- chemistry. Although the subject is complicated, take heart! Millions of students before you have already pounded their fists and heads on their desks in frustration, and in the future many millions more will as well.
The complicated part of organic chemistry arises from the unique characteristics of carbon's preferred number of bonds (four). Other atoms can take on four or even more than four bonds, but carbon's small size compared to other members of its atomic group cause its properties and molecular behavior to be largely unique.
The key to learning organic chemistry is understanding organic chemistry. The number of formulas to memorize is small; the true key to mastering this subject is understanding why atoms, molecules and especially functional groups behave in the way they do. It is all well and good to memorize the mechanism of Michael addition, but a superior accomplishment would be the ability to explain why such a reaction would take place.
As in all things, it is easier to build up a body of new knowledge on a foundation of solid prior knowledge. Students will be well served by much of the knowledge brought to this subject from the subject of General chemistry. Concepts with particular importance to organic chemists are covalent bonding, Molecular Orbit theory, VSEPR Modeling, understanding acid/base chemistry vis-a-vis pKa values, and even trends of the periodic table. This is by no means a comprehensive list of the knowledge you should have gained already in order to fully understand the subject of organic chemistry, but it should give you some idea of the things you need to know to succeed in an organic chemistry test or course.
A good, solid work ethic and a nimble mind will take you very far in the field of organic chemistry. The question is, are you ready to go?
IntroductionOrganic Chemistry is one of the subjects which are varying useful and close to our daily life. We always try to figure out some of the unknown mysteries of our daily life through our factious thinking habit, which generates superstitions. Through the help of chemistry we can help ourselves to get out of this kind of superstition. We always try to find the ultimate truth through our own convenience. In the ancient past we had struggled to make things to go as per our need. In that context we have found fire,house,food,transportation,etc? Now the burning question is ------------?how can chemistry help our daily life?? To find the answer of this Q , we have to know the subject thoroughly.Gotocontents>>This free online text is intended to become a complete replacement for your printed book.
