Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies carbon compounds, their structure, properties and synthesis methods. Organic compounds are called carbon compounds with other elements. Carbon forms the largest number of compounds with the so-called organogen elements: H, N, O, S, P.
Below you can get acquainted with the main classes of organic chemistry.
Alkanes, or paraffins, are a group of molecules with the general formula CnH2n+2. Popular fuels such as gasoline, diesel and gas are based on alkanes
Alkenes are a class of organic compounds having a double bond between carbon atoms. The double bond in olefin molecules is one σ- and one π-bond
Alkynes are rarely found in nature, but they are found on the surfaces of Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn. On earth, acetylene is used, an important alkyne in industry, from which well-known PVC and PVA products are made
Cyclic alkane molecules - not all of them can exist. In 1885 , Adolf Von Bayer described the conditions for the existence of basic cyclic molecules
A huge number of everyday substances contain halogenalkanes. Freon in the refrigerator, fuel additives to protect the engine, Teflon and anesthesia - how many other uses do halogenalkanes have?
Chemists still can't figure out, are these organic or inorganic acids? Carboxylic acids are found in many living organisms: in ants, bees, sorrel, and during the fermentation of wine, acetic acid is released, which is widely used in the economy
